The procedures and training you to have to follow are part of your employer’s CoR obligations.At the very least, your employer should make sure that you comply with HVNL requirements. This includes:
As a driver, how do I comply with COR?
- having a vehicle that is roadworthy and well maintained
- knowing how to load it safely, within mass and dimension limits
- being trained and equipped to securely restrain loads
- being prohibited from driving while fatigued or exceeding speed limits.
If you drive a fatigue-regulated heavy vehicle, you should be able to record your work and rest hours.If you drive a vehicle that exceeds general mass and dimension limits, you should also know how to work out which routes you are permitted to drive and what conditions you have to comply with.Your employer may also require you to follow additional safety procedures that relate to your particular work circumstances.By following all of these requirements, you can ensure you are complying with the parts of the HVNL that apply to drivers.
