Chain of Responsibility Consulting
Chain of Responsibility consulting and chartered risk support for Australian businesses that need to close HVNL, WHS, supply-chain, and transport compliance gaps.

Contractor controls should be verified before the work starts.

Receiving windows, site rules, and unloading delays can all shape the transport task.

Unloading decisions can affect safety, scheduling, and responsibility.

Managers need a clear view of gaps before audit or enforcement pressure arrives.

CoR consulting: clarity before software
Many transport businesses need clarity before they need a system. MAEZ reviews the transport task, identifies duty holders under the Heavy Vehicle National Law, assesses current controls, and prioritises the gaps that matter most to your operation.
Chartered risk lens
The MAEZ advisory offer is positioned around practical risk closure: identifying exposure, making controls understandable, assigning responsibility, and building evidence pathways.
Software where it fits
When the right next step is workflow and evidence capture, MAEZ can connect the consulting work into CoRGuard at chainresponsibility.au.
Operational message set
Find the gaps. Fix the system. Prove the controls.
MAEZ helps transport operators deal with the compliance risk they already know is there. We help get the Safety Management System in order, protect NHVAS accreditation, reduce fine exposure, and connect training, evidence, and CoRGuard workflows where software is needed.
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.
Evidence path
From MAEZ advice to a working Safety Management System
Advisory work should leave a practical implementation trail. These examples show how CoRGuard supports records, fatigue and driver diary checks, maintenance, audits, document control, inductions, corrective actions, and evidence review after MAEZ identifies the gaps.

Training records
Connect training completion from cortraining.com.au to evidence and follow-up.

Driver diary checks
Connect fatigue and driver diary review back to manager visibility.

Corrective actions
Turn audit findings, hazards and incidents into tracked actions.
