Why Driver Training Matters More Than Ever
Under the HVNL, heavy vehicle drivers play a critical role in helping Operators discharge their primary duty and manage the safety of their transport activities, so far as is reasonably practicable.
The 2026 Master Code places renewed focus on practical controls, documented systems and proactive risk management. For many businesses, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming.
Driver CoR & Safety Awareness Training gives businesses a practical starting point by providing drivers with clear, relevant information about the law, safety expectations and everyday decisions that affect heavy vehicle safety.
“Off-road decisions can have on-road consequences.”
Why this course is different
It’s different because it has been developed for drivers and speaks directly to them about the laws that apply to them, what Chain of Responsibility means in their day to day role and how everyday decisions affect safety on the road.
It provides practical advice and guidance on road safety, driver safety, vehicle safety and load safety. It helps drivers understand what is expected of them, supports their compliance with the law, and gives the businesses that employ them a practical way to provide consistent, relevant training as part of induction or refresher training.
“It is not generic CoR training. It is driver-focused safety training that gives drivers information they can use every day to work and drive more safely.”
It talks directly to drivers
The course explains what Chain of Responsibility is, who is in it and why it exists, but the focus is on the driver’s own legal obligations and practical safety responsibilities.
It supports employers too
Transport companies have duties under WHS law and the HVNL. Training helps show that drivers have received information, instruction and training in the safety requirements that apply to their role.
It is practical, not academic
Safe driving, fatigue, fitness for work, load restraint, pre-start checks, fault reporting, servicing and incident response are covered in plain language.
Built on current HVNL knowledge
The course has been developed by people who understand the HVNL, monitor the Law relevant court cases, and have worked closely with the NHVR to develop CoR training.
The course is reviewed regularly and updated when important changes need to be included.
Built around three clear topics
The course gives drivers the information they need to be safe and compliant on the road, without burying them in irrelevant compliance theory.
Heavy Vehicle Drivers and the Law
Chain of Responsibility, driver responsibilities, HVNL obligations, offences, penalties and how the law is enforced.
Safe Heavy Vehicle Drivers
Driver licence checks, fitness for work, alcohol and other drugs, fatigue, distraction, speed and safe driving behaviour.
