How MAEZ services relate to this website

Who this page is for and how training, consulting, and software connect

This page is useful for owner-operators, transport managers, executives, consignors, consignees, loaders, schedulers, contractors, and anyone who influences a heavy vehicle transport task.

MAEZ helps Australian transport and supply-chain businesses identify Chain of Responsibility, HVNL, WHS, NHVAS, training, audit, document-control, and Safety Management System gaps, then turn those gaps into practical controls and evidence.

Training

Chain of Responsibility training is delivered through cortraining.com.au. MAEZ provides the advisory and risk pathway, while the training platform handles course delivery and competency records.

Consulting

Chain of Responsibility consulting defines the risk, obligations, controls, and implementation pathway for your business.

Software (CoRGuard)

Where software is needed, CoRGuard supports the Safety Management System evidence workflow — structured records, reminders, audits, maintenance, driver diary checks, inductions, corrective actions, and evidence reporting. MAEZ identifies the gaps; CoRGuard helps you structure the proof.

If you have questions about how these terms apply to a specific engagement, contact MAEZ.

Operational message set

Find the gaps. Fix the system. Prove the controls.

MAEZ helps transport operators deal with the compliance risk they already know is there. We help get the Safety Management System in order, protect NHVAS accreditation, reduce fine exposure, and connect training, evidence, and CoRGuard workflows where software is needed.

Find

Identify what is exposed before an auditor or regulator does.

Fix

Build the SMS controls around how the transport business actually runs.

Prove

Use CoRGuard where records, reminders, diaries, audits, and evidence need structure.

Evidence path
