Chain of responsibility legislation – what has changed?
The traditional approach in road transport law in Australia has been to apply legal liability for not operating safely on drivers only, or in some cases owners or operators. Where other parties could be held accountable, this was generally through legally cumbersome ‘cause or permit’ or ‘aid and abet’ laws.
Prosecution of other parties in the transport chain was rare, and tended to occur only for serious offences. The major weakness of this approach is that it ignores the actions of many other parties (including ‘off-road’ parties such as consignors, manufacturers and loaders).
The Chain of Responsibility legislation will extend to all parties in the supply cycle from truck loaders, schedulers, consignors, consignees, freight agents, directors, and senior managers. Everyone in the supply chain could be responsible for their actions, not just the truck drivers as has been in the past.
Knowingly or unknowingly, the actions (or failure to act) of these parties in the chain can have a major effect on drivers’ fatigue, speeding, overloading and load restraint behaviour. Hence, former road transport laws tended to have little, if any, deterrent effect on these parties.
Chain of responsibility training has an important role in the transport industry.

Basic Fatigue Management Policy and Procedures (covering the six standards) for your BFM number
Read moreThis 117 page customised BFM fatigue implementation kit is used in preparation for an entry audit into the BFM scheme. Anyone requiring their own BFM number requires policies such as these for a Heavy Vehicle Auditor to sign off on. Once reviewed and accepted by the auditor, your entry audit documentation is sent to your Local Roads & Traffic Authority who will then issue you with a BFM number.
Once you do your training with us, you need to ensure that whoever you’re working with has been accredited for fatigue management with your local state Transport Authorities. When this is done, companies will be issued a basic fatigue management number that should be used when completing your work diary.
Our courses are carefully designed to provide in-depth knowledge and understanding of fatigue management. We help participants steer their way through their obligations, making it easier for you to comply with your road safety and fatigue management requirements.
AlertForce are leaders in fatigue management training, so if you are in another industry such as mining, manufacturing, rail etc we also have various customised courses that can help your business.
Fatigue can be defined as a state of impairment that can include physical and/or mental features, that can be associated with lower alertness and/or reduced performance.Our training is delivered online so it can be scheduled wherever and whenever it suits you or your staff the best. Our courses are carried out quickly and simply, making it easy to meet your responsibilities while keeping your business moving.
