Reporting driver defects effectively should be a key part of your vehicle maintenance regime. More importantly your drivers should know which defects to look for.
85% of roadworthiness infringements, such as locked emergency exits and or missing break-glass hammers, could have be avoided if the driver does a simple walkaround routine.
By simply auditing your drivers regularly will keep you up to date on how well they’re keeping on top of this important check.
Also a simple reminder or re-education at toolbox talks are a simple way to prevent a prohibition or any further investigation.
