What is the Cargo Hauling safe work practice?
Driving is the highest-risk task for many contractors. A vehicle and journey program covers licensing, vehicle inspection, safe driving rules, trip planning and, where it applies, the rules for moving dangerous goods.
A safe work practice is the written "how we do this job safely" for one task or piece of equipment. This one is written for cargo hauling and is ready for your company name, so crews, supervisors and clients all read the same rules.
Who needs it: Contractors whose workers drive to site, haul equipment or carry dangerous goods.
