Who we are

Hi, we are Matt & Emma.

We are industry leaders and go-getters in the Chain of Responsibility space. We help companies, leaders, and safety departments fix on-road risks through practical software, training, audits, policies, and programs that add real value to business.

Our pride is that our business is driven by customer feedback. Your benefit is years of experience and continuous improvement shaped by what operators, managers, and executives actually need on the ground.

We work with mining companies, building and manufacturing businesses, retailers, waste operators, transport companies, startups, and small to mid-size businesses across Australia.

Our mission: save one life

From day one, my mission has been to save one life. After years working in Australian logistics, safety has affected me personally. Leaders have a duty in life to protect those who may not be able to do so themselves; humanity has a responsibility to work together and to help one another.

Matthew Wragg, Founder

That mission shapes every consulting engagement and training session we deliver. We focus on practical, objective actions that stakeholders can accomplish in real-time to reduce critical business risks and protect the people behind every transport task.

What MAEZ helps transport businesses fix

MAEZ helps Australian transport and supply-chain businesses identify compliance gaps and turn them into practical controls and evidence. Specifically, we help with:

  • Chain of Responsibility obligations across every party in the supply chain
  • HVNL readiness, including duties that apply to executives, operators, schedulers, consignors, loaders, and consignees
  • WHS and transport-safety integration
  • NHVAS accreditation support and Safety Management System development
  • Training, audit, document control, and corrective-action pathways

The goal is not just to tick boxes. It is to find the gaps, fix the system, and prove the controls so that safety is built into how the business actually runs.

How our approach delivers value

Since launching MAEZ, our clients have realised significant value — increased revenues, reduction of key risks, mitigation of costly leadership errors and agreements, and enhanced team and workplace performance.

We achieve this through expert facilitation, crucial conversations, and a relentless focus on building safe transport tasks. Our unique focus on practical CoR management drives businesses to change their behaviours and actions so that their teams and colleagues are aligned on safety strategy and tactics in a short amount of time.

We let customer feedback drive our business. Every engagement improves the next one, which is why operators keep coming back when they need honest, practical compliance support.

Where software fits: CoRGuard

MAEZ provides the advisory and risk pathway — defining the obligations, controls, and implementation steps. Where software is the right next step, CoRGuard supports the Safety Management System evidence workflow.

CoRGuard is the SaaS platform used when a business needs structured records, reminders, audits, maintenance tracking, driver diary checks, inductions, corrective actions, and evidence reporting.

Advisory work should leave a practical implementation trail. MAEZ identifies the gaps; CoRGuard helps prove the controls are working day to day.

Who this page is for

This page is useful for anyone who influences a heavy vehicle transport task, including:

  • Owner-operators and transport managers
  • Executives and senior leaders with due-diligence obligations
  • Consignors, consignees, loaders, and schedulers
  • Contractors and supply-chain partners

If you need to understand your Chain of Responsibility training obligations, want a practical CoR risk review, or are ready to talk to MAEZ about your compliance gaps, we are here to help.

Operational message set

Find the gaps. Fix the system. Prove the controls.

Find

Identify what is exposed before an auditor or regulator does.

Fix

Build the SMS controls around how the transport business actually runs.

Prove

Use CoRGuard where records, reminders, diaries, audits, and evidence need structure.
