The Chain of Responsibility (or CoR) is a framework used in Australian transport legislation to place legal obligations on the various parties involved in the transport supply chain, particularly the heavy vehicle industry.

The Chain of Responsibility regulates areas such as speeding, fatigue, mass, loading, and dimension, recognising that unlawful behaviour may occur due to the action of others.
