The Grain Transport Safety Network (GTSN) in the process of developing an industry code for registration by the NHVR.
GTSN recently submitted a “Notice of Intention to register an Industry Code of Practice”.
The code, to be known as the Grain Transport Industry Code of Practice, will address the hazards and risks of overloading heavy vehicles with grain commodities and managing the risks of non-compliant (overloaded) heavy vehicles arriving at premises.
The NHVR says Industry Codes of Practice assist parties in the Chain of Responsibility to comply with the primary duty.
Any feedback, or nominations to participate in the development process can be forwarded to codes@nhvr.gov.au.
