Primary Producers and the Heavy Vehicle National Law

​Primary producers, as parties in the road transport supply chain, have specific obligations under the Heavy Vehicle National Law to ensure safety by preventing a breach of the law; this is called the Chain of Responsibility (CoR). It requires each party with the ability to control or influence the transport activity to take positive steps to prevent mass, load restraint, dimension, fatigue and speed offences.

From mid-2018, new Chain of Responsibility laws will require that primary producers ensure safety across the transport activities that they control or influence, including packing, loading, consigning etc.

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator has put together a useful flyer and video for primary producers. Watch the video below and click the button to download the flyer.
