The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has released new regulatory advice about identifying and managing the safety risks of light to medium heavy vehicles.
This follows the regulatory advice piece to help industry and the supply chain better understand Chain of Responsibility laws.
Operators or owners of light to medium heavy vehicles – that’s a vehicle with a GVM or ATM of more than 4.5t and less than 12t – may not be aware of their legal obligations under the HVNL.
This new guidance provides a snapshot of what risks are involved, who has a responsibility to manage those risks, and some useful advice and resources.
Industry is encouraged to provide feedback via the NHVR website.
