The Intent of the rulebook is to assist business proprietors in applying standards and requirements regarding the usage of company or work-supplied vehicles. The following issues are addressed in the rulebook.
- A work-supplied vehicle is a legally designated workplace.
- OH&S laws, regulations and obligations apply to all work-supplied vehicles at all times, for employees as well as employers.
- Vehicle incidents account for 70.1% of all work-related deaths and injuries.
- Agreed fuel cost targets for vehicles keep drivers cost conscious about unnecessary use, typically saving $700-$800 per year and growing.
- Complying with expected environmental considerations can also result in significant operating cost savings.
It's always awkward and uncomfortable when you have to apply stringent requirements with trusted employees. Our rulebooks make it easier to implement guidelines and policy for all to follow.
Our Vehicle rulebooks are customised for your organisation and bound in a hard cover binder for durability and are designed to be kept in each work vehicle and are signed off by all drivers. They apply to all vehicles in the fleet including cars, trucks, vans, utes and dual cabs. |

The text at right is an example taken from the Route Planning page. Each page in the rulebook covers a specific vehicle related issue.
There is also a section in the lower half of each page that allows for comments to be added.
70 plus topics are covered so the rulebook is very comprehensive. Extra items covering issues peculiar to your business can, of course, be added. |
