The recent spate of road accidents involving lorries and container trucks has prompted a transportation expert to suggest that Malaysia should emulate Australia’s move in incorporating a Chain of Responsibility legal framework for heavy vehicles to reduce road fatalities,
“Implementing a CoR framework, as successfully done in Australia, could hold every stakeholder in the logistics chain accountable, ensuring shared responsibility for safety,” he told the publication. Under the framework, everyone who works with heavy vehicles, from the business that employs a driver or owns a vehicle, to the business that sends or receives goods is accountable for the safety of the heavy vehicle, its driver, and its load throughout the journey. Penalties for those who contravene the primary duty or obligation to ensure the safety of transport activities can be up to AUD300,000 and five years’ imprisonment for individuals, and up to AUD3 million for corporations.
