NHVR uses podcast milestone to expand industry-facing safety and compliance messaging

The NHVR announced a new milestone for its What’s Your 20? podcast on 4 August 2026, marking continued growth of the regulator’s audio channel for heavy vehicle industry information. The podcast is being used to distribute safety, education and regulatory content to drivers and transport businesses, adding another direct communication channel for NHVR guidance and campaign material.

Operator note: Compliance managers should add the NHVR’s What’s Your 20? podcast to your regulator monitoring register and check recent episodes for any guidance affecting fatigue, loading, vehicle standards or Chain of Responsibility policies, then update your SMS communications log to show how NHVR material is being captured and circulated internally.

NHVR launches level crossing campaign that sharpens rail-crossing risk controls for heavy vehicle operations

The NHVR launched the "Don’t Risk the Rails" level crossing safety campaign on 10 August 2026 to address safety risks where heavy vehicles interact with the rail network. The campaign puts renewed focus on driver behaviour and route risk at level crossings, particularly for freight tasks where vehicle length, mass and stopping distance affect crossing safety.

Operator note: Operations managers need to map every regular route that includes level crossings and verify route instructions, pre-trip briefings and incident reporting procedures specifically address rail-crossing decision points under the "Don’t Risk the Rails" campaign, including any locations where heavy vehicle length or load could affect clearance time.
