 |
Local hazards and risks must be identified and risk reduction measures must be taken to minimize exposure. All known hazards like steep gradients, narrow bridges, poor road surfaces, dangerous intersections etc. are listed and mapped as per low, medium, and High risk category and a mitigation plan is suggested, this could also include emergency help line services, such as police, ambulance and crane services. |
Route planning and scheduling must aim at avoiding hazards, unsuitable roads and congested areas as far as possible. Temporary route hazards (e.g. diversions, road works, flooded areas etc.) must be notified and communicated to the driver before commencing journey. The route hazard maps could be supplied to each driver for every route.
This Risk list is subject to regular review and update as the risk profile changes.
