WA Govt Briefing Sessions on Chain of Responsibility in all Major Centres

DOCKLANDS, Australia - Sept. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- ‘Latus’ announced today that starting September 9th 2013, it will be assisting Main Roads Western Australia and the Department of Transport in the roll out of the of the national model ‘Road Transport Reform’ (Compliance and Enforcement) Bill, also known as  Chain of Responsibility (CoR) to all major centres across WA.

Whilst CoR was introduced in WA in May 2012, the legislation has now been passed and regulations, including fines and enforcement will come into effect March 2014. WA officials expect the introduction of this legislation to improve road safety, logistics practices and well as be an overall improvement of the transport industry.

Mike Wood Managing Director of Latus said today -“CoR is no different to any other OH&S issues, but focuses on road accidents involving commercial vehicles. CoR is a method that extends occupational health and safety beyond the walls of the business.”
He went on to say that “anyone working in transport can no longer afford to be ignorant of CoR, put simply anyone who works in transport can now be held accountable for any actions or inactions in the case of a breach”.

The roll out will consist of a set of intensive information sessions commencing in Perth’s Belmont Racecourse on Monday, September 9th through to Wednesday 11th and will then move to Fremantle’s Sailing Club on Wednesday 11th September through to Thursday the 12th September.

The information sessions will also be held in regional centre’s, throughout Mid September 2013 through early October, in areas including; Albany, Narrogin, Bunbury, Kalgoorlie, Geraldton, Port Hedland and Broome in September and October 2013.
