Master Code of Practice - Australian Capital Territory

Description

You may need to comply with this code if you use heavy vehicles directly or indirectly, whether in commerce, public transport,
agriculture, government or industry.

The code is relevant to all parties in the Chain of Responsibility (CoR) from operators of heavy vehicles to large corporations in the supply chain and includes individuals, businesses and government organisations that rely on heavy vehicles even if they don't own them. It is required reading for executives of CoR parties. Their duty to exercise due diligence requires them - among other things - to gain an understanding of their business's transport activities and the hazards and risks associated with those activities.
