28.1 Company Procedures
Safe Driving

Drive the vehicle in a safe, lawful and efficient manner to the standard required by the
Department of Transport in all traffic and weather conditions, laden or un-laden.

Ensure you have a comfortable seating position that allows you to access all controls and
gives you all round vision.

If in doubt about anything then please ASK, we are here to help.

Carrying of Passengers

The carriage of un-authorised passengers or animals is strictly forbidden at all times
without written director’s approval.

Driving Licence

Drivers of Company vehicles must hold a valid driving licence which must be produced to
the Company on request. You will also be required to provide your agreement to allow a
third party to monitor your license, this is valid for a three-year period unless you leave
employment at FTL Ltd when the monitoring will cease. In the event of the employee’s
driving licence being withdrawn for whatever reason you must notify your manager
immediately and not drive any company vehicle as you will not be insured, and where the
use of a vehicle is essential to the performance of the employee’s job, the Company reserves
the right to terminate your employment.

Any change to your license must be reported to your line manager as soon as it occurs.

Holidays

Please note that the company operates a first come first serve basis, with a strict limit of
drivers taking holidays during busy periods. Book your holiday well in advance to avoid
disappointment. Holiday can be arranged in the office. Prior to taking annual leave longer
than three days you must ensure that your tachograph card has been downloaded by the
operational staff.
