Recent HVNL changes mean that COR obligations are now interpreted in the same way as general obligations under Workplace Health and Safety legislation (see related article).

Sue Bottrell provides sensible and well-informed advice to explain the impact of these changes and their impact on parties to the Chain including distributors, transporters and receivers of goods.

Sue will present an informative and practical webinar looking at the changes, explaining those changes in simple terms, challenging misinformation and removing the confusion in the transport industry.

By participating in the webinar you will better understand your obligations as a party in the chain, avoid over complicating your processes and target your efforts where they are needed most to support compliance and best practice management of transport related safety.
