Common use of Chain of Responsibility Clause in Contracts

Chain of Responsibility. Linfox and the Union will use their best lawful endeavours and co-operate to ensure that subcontractors and labour hire agencies, as well as their respective transport workers, receive their due entitlements and abide by their obligations at law, including (but not limited to) entitlements and obligations under awards, contract determinations, and legislation relating to road transport regulation and occupational health and safety. In addition, Linfox will implement appropriate contract and invoicing arrangements, having regard to the intent of section 127 of the Industrial Relations Act (NSW). Where relevant, the parties will negotiate on rates payable to captive lorry owner-drivers. Neither party to this agreement will tolerate operators who persistently breach the above-referred chain of responsibility obligations, and will keep each other advised with a view to appropriate action being taken to remedy the situation.
