Road and vehicle safety policy

Who it applies to

The policy applies to all Accenti-owned, leased and hired vehicles and mobile plant, and to every employee, contractor and subcontractor who drives or travels in them.

Key requirements

• Authorized drivers

  Only drivers with a valid license for the vehicle class, a company driving authorization and a satisfactory assessment drive Accenti vehicles.

• Roadworthy vehicles

  Vehicles have a documented pre-use check and are maintained to manufacturer schedules. Defective vehicles are taken out of service.

• Seatbelts and speed

  Every occupant wears a seatbelt at all times, and road and site speed limits are obeyed.

• No distraction or impairment

  Using a hand-held phone while driving is prohibited, and drivers must be fit for work under the drug and alcohol policy.

• Loads and passengers

  Loads are secured and within rated capacity. Passengers travel only in seats fitted with seatbelts, never in cargo areas.

• Journey management

  Journeys out of town or at night follow an approved plan with route, timings, check-in points and communications. Driving hours and rest are controlled.
