5 Driving Company Vehicles and Plant

5.1 Seat Belts (do I need to wear one?)

It is Harrison Industrial policy to wear a seat belt at all times no matter what
vehicle you are driving on or off of company premises.

If it is fitted you wear it. NO EXCEPTIONS IT’S THE

LAW.

Failure to wear your seat belt if fitted on site will result in disciplinary procedures if on site and
an on the spot fine and 3 penalty points on your license from the police if you are caught on
the public highway not wearing your seat belt.

FORKLIFT DRIVERS MUST WEAR SEAT BELTS AT ALL TIMES.

1. Training - You must not operate any Company vehicle or plant unless you are fully
trained and certificated to do so by an external training provider and you are fully
conversant and competent with the vehicles controls. If you are unsure of any of the
vehicle/plant operations, you must speak to your immediate manager, who will ensure you
are re-trained and retested (if required) before you start working with the vehicle/plant

2. Guarding - Vehicles and Plant are fitted with safety guards and rails as per the
manufacturer’s specifications. These guards must not be removed or tampered with at
any time. If you find that any safety equipment is damaged or missing, you must report it
immediately to your manager and do not operate the vehicle or plant until it has been
repaired or replaced.

3. First Aid Boxes - First Aid boxes are provided at the Company’s head office. When you
have used any item from a first aid kit, this must be treated as an accident and recorded
in the accident book. You must then notify your manager who will arrange to replenish any
items used.

4. Accidents - All accidents must be reported to your manager and an entry must be made
into the Company accident book. It is a legal requirement that all accidents and or near
misses must be reported and documented in full. Photographic evidence must also be
collected of accidents and incidents involving company property where possible.

5. Cameras - Photographs taken on digital cameras or telephones are also welcomed and
can be downloaded or e-mailed to your manager to help further with the investigation.
