Inside the system: what your team gets
Every screen below is the live CORSMS platform. Your operator dashboard and user management are always included; this subscription also unlocks the following modules, each mapped to an element of the NHVR Safety Management System framework.
A live Primary Duty score, always on
Included with every subscription. The Operator Dashboard turns your NHVR SMS from a folder of documents into a live operating picture: a Primary Duty score out of 100, your Critical 6 risk pillars, external risk exposure and jurisdiction-specific regulator advisories for every state you operate in. Executives see in seconds what would otherwise take an audit to establish.
- Primary Duty score with click-through breakdown to the evidence behind it
- Critical 6 pillar tracking aligned to NHVR risk expectations
- Jurisdiction advisories for NSW, Vic, Qld and every HVNL state you nominate
- One-click board and management report generation
Your branded Safety Management System library
The heart of the platform: a complete library of professionally drafted SMS documents covering the policies, procedures, registers and tools the NHVR expects, generated as branded PDFs ready to issue across your operation.
- Complete SMS document suite maintained by CoR specialists
- Documents rendered as professional, issue-ready PDFs
- Kept current as HVNL requirements change
Contractor assurance the NHVR can follow
Under the HVNL your Primary Duty extends to every subcontractor who carries your freight. The Contractors module gives you a single register of every linked contractor with inductions, insurances, licences and compliance status tracked in real time, so due diligence on your supply chain is demonstrable, not assumed.
- Contractor register with live compliance status per contractor
- Induction tracking and expiry alerts on insurances and accreditations
- Contractor portal so partners can view their own compliance status
- Gatekeeper blocking of non-compliant contractors on Enterprise
Fatigue management built on HVNL work and rest rules
Fatigue is the highest-profile CoR risk there is. Drivers keep electronic fatigue diaries checked against HVNL work/rest options (Standard, BFM, AFM), while supervisors get a fleet-wide view of who is approaching their limits before a breach occurs.
- Driver fatigue diaries with automatic HVNL rule checks
- Standard, BFM and AFM scheme caps built in
- Supervisor fleet view with early-warning flags
Incident reporting and investigation, end to end
When something goes wrong, the clock starts. Capture incidents from the field in minutes, run structured investigations, and see your live incident position at a glance, with every step time-stamped for HVNL notifiable-incident obligations.
- Fast incident capture including public report-incident links
- Structured investigations with root cause, actions and closure summary
- Live incident dashboard with counts by severity and status
A risk register aligned to the Critical 6
Risk management is the backbone of an NHVR SMS. Maintain your operational risk register mapped to the Critical 6 pillars, with controls, ratings and review dates, feeding your Primary Duty score in real time.
- Risk register with likelihood, consequence and control ratings
- Critical 6 pillar mapping and drill-downs
- Review scheduling so risks never go stale
Vehicle maintenance you can defend
Vehicle standards and maintenance is a core NHVR SMS element. Keep your full fleet register with service schedules, defect reporting and rectification history in one place, so roadworthiness is a documented process rather than a diary entry.
- Fleet register with registration and inspection dates
- Maintenance scheduling and service history
- Defect reporting with rectification tracking
Every person, licence and competency on record
An NHVR SMS expects you to know who is doing safety-critical work and that they are qualified to do it. The Staff module holds your full personnel register with roles, licences and certifications, and flags expiries before they become breaches.
- Staff register with role-based safety responsibilities
- Licence and certification tracking with expiry warnings
- Links staff to training records, incidents and corrective actions
Policies your people have actually acknowledged
A policy nobody has read is not a control. Hold your full CoR policy and procedure library in the system, push updates as legislation changes, and capture acknowledgement from every staff member so 'we have a policy' becomes 'and here is who has read it'.
- Full HVNL-aligned policy and procedure library
- Updates flow through as NHVR legislation evolves
- Per-person acknowledgement tracking
Also included in this subscription
Rounding out your NHVR SMS coverage.
A working SMS captures hazards before they become incidents. Give every driver and depot worker a simple way to raise hazards, then triage, assign and close them with a full audit trail.
- Simple hazard capture for field staff
- Triage, assignment and closure workflow
- Hazard history feeding your risk register
Findings without follow-through are what regulators call systemic failure. Every corrective and preventive action from audits, incidents and hazards is tracked with owners and due dates until it is verifiably closed.
- Single register of corrective and preventive actions
- Owners, due dates and overdue escalation
- Closure evidence linked back to the originating finding
Safety communication is an SMS element the NHVR checks by asking your drivers, not your managers. Schedule toolbox talks, record attendance and keep the topics on file so consultation is documented, every time.
- Talk scheduling with topic templates
- Attendance records per session
- History that demonstrates ongoing consultation
Operating across borders means operating across regulators. Get plain-English HVNL guidance plus jurisdiction advisories for each state, so your team applies the right fatigue options, mass rules and notification obligations everywhere you work.
- Plain-English HVNL and CoR guidance
- Per-state jurisdiction advisories on your dashboard
- Updates as regulator positions change
