ALL: ‘What form of record-keeping do we maintain to document our actions?’

Managing your obligations

Possible considerations

21

SPEED: ‘How do my activities impact on the time available for drivers to: do pre-trip check; travel to pick-up or delivery point; ensure correct loading; take prescribed breaks; cope with traffic contingencies; meet deadlines?’

LOADING: ‘Have we communicated our need for appropriate methods of load restraint to our suppliers? What assurances of compliance have we received?’

MASS: ‘How do we know the loads we receive are legal? Have we considered the loads that leave our site? ’

DIMENSION: ‘How do we determine if an oversize load is legal? Have we sighted the permit?

FATIGUE: ‘What contingencies do we have in place to respond to a driver being delayed? Do we know the driver is compliant with work and rest hour limits?’
