Managing Your CoR Safety System?
But the Heavy Vehicle National Law requires you to have a safety system in place to ensure a safe transport task in your business. If you have trucks, you have a transport task. So what do you do as a business to ensure you are compliant? This Vlog by Matthew Wragg @MAEZ explains what you need to do to ensure you start checking in, on your Chain of Responsibility aka CoR. Week after week in every state, we all hear and see news of trucks rolling over, truck drivers using drugs, trucks on fire and causing death and destruction. We want to show you, especially if you have a supply chain with trucks working within your supply chain, how important it is to steer your transport task into a position of being compliant with the legislative requirements and on a path of continual improvement. Join in on the discussion and make yourself aware of your obligations.
How this connects to MAEZ now

Operational message set
Find the gaps. Fix the system. Prove the controls.

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
