About this training
Transport safety can be influenced by decisions made well before a vehicle leaves a site. Chain of Responsibility awareness training explores how scheduling, loading, contracting and commercial expectations may affect heavy vehicle operations. Employers can discuss role boundaries and the application of relevant frameworks without treating the session as legal advice.
Map the roles your organisation performs across the transport supply chain before approaching a provider. Safety Training Finder connects employers with providers and does not deliver training or determine legal obligations. Confirm provider credentials, session availability and jurisdictional relevance, including how the proposed awareness content reflects your actual operations.

Frequently asked questions
Does this training determine our legal responsibilities?+
No. This awareness training does not determine your legal position or replace advice on your circumstances. Ask the actual provider to confirm jurisdictional relevance, credentials, scope and availability, and seek separate legal advice where needed.
Should staff who do not drive attend?+
Scheduling, loading, procurement and management decisions can influence transport safety, so you can discuss these roles in your request. The actual provider must confirm participant suitability, relevant content, their credentials and availability before a booking proceeds.
Can our freight processes be used as examples?+
You can request discussion of your freight processes, contracts and communication arrangements, subject to confidentiality and suitability. Confirm with the actual provider what can be included, whether their credentials match the scope and when training is available.
