               6.1  Company Procedures
               Safe Driving

               Drive the vehicle in a safe, lawful and efficient manner to the standard required to pass your
               external competency test in all weather conditions when both laden or un-laden.

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

               Do not drive whilst using a hand-held mobile phone.

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


               Carrying of Passengers

               The carriage of un-authorised passengers or animals in any vehicle is strictly forbidden at all
               times unless written permission has been given by a company Director.

               Driving Licence

               Drivers of Company vehicles on the highway must hold a valid driving licence which must be
               produced to the Company on request, or on at least a 4-month basis. 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               employee’s driving licence being withdrawn for whatever reason you must notify your manager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 their 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
               operatives taking holidays during busy periods. Book your holiday well in advance to avoid
               disappointment. The forms can be collected from the office.


               7  Eye Contact
               Please ensure that whilst walking or driving around on any site you have made eye contact
               with the vehicle and plant drivers before crossing their path from any direction.

                                   You may need to wave to attract the operators/drivers attention


                                    •            You must then wait for their permission to cross
                                                 the yard to ensure you have been seen


                                    This  procedure  is  to  ensure  that  you  are  kept  safe  and  you  take
                                    responsibility  for  your  safety  and  anyone  else  in  your  party  whilst
                                    crossing the yard at any site you visit.
