Scope – Information Disclosed

Dashboard Background Key Internal Considerations Scope – Information Disclosed

In many instances the person raising the issue may not have all of the information. The process around decision to investigate may be based on broader considerations, than just what the discloser knows and relays to the organisation.

Accordingly it is plausible that a disclosure:

Is appropriate, but contains the wrong information
Is correct in some part and not correct in others
Appears appropriate, but turns out not to be appropriate after the investigation has been started
Might be tainted with other issues (including grievance)

None of these issues relieves the organisation of the obligation to conduct a preliminary assessment.

COR Reporting Account Setup

SETTING UP A COR REPORTING SERVICE IS SIMPLE AND COST EFFECTIVE.

Changes to the Chain of Responsibility (CoR) laws were introduced on 1 October 2018. These changes aligned CoR laws more closely with workplace health and safety laws. The aim of COR is to make sure everyone in the supply chain shares responsibility for ensuring breaches of the HVNL do not occur. Under COR laws if you are named as a party in the chain of responsibility and you exercise (or have the capability of exercising) control or influence over any transport task, you have a responsibility to ensure the HVNL is complied with.

The law recognises that multiple parties may be responsible for offences committed by the drivers and operators of heavy vehicles. A person may be a party in the supply chain in more than one way. For example they may have duties as the employer, the operator and the consigner of goods. Legal liability applies to all parties for their actions or inactions.
