BASIC MVS Policy Page 1/31

PREFACE
As Managing Director, my first responsibility to the employees of BASIC is to keep them safe from
harm. Our drivers play an important role in that mission every time they drive on our state roads.
Driving a motor vehicle on public streets and highways is a privilege. In order to enjoy the privilege
of driving, it is necessary that we know what laws, rules and regulations exist. In order to facilitate
this concern and operating our different projects without any incidence BASIC has developed its own
Motor Vehicle Safety Policy & Procedures Manual which shall comply with the industry standard
practices.
This policy is prepared to acquaint the users with safety rules and regulations that directly or
indirectly affect us as the operator or user or beneficiary of motor vehicle. Leaders and supervisors at
all levels are the Safety Officers for their respective wor k pl a ce and are directly responsible for
the health and welfare of the employees entrusted to their care. Accident prevention is a leadership
responsibility.
We should remember that a good driving personality is related to our attitude. We must respect the
law, our own rights and the rights of others.
Driving is a complex task that requires driver’s full attention. No one knows when an emergency
situation will arise. How quickly the driver reacts to the situation depends on his alertness. The
stopping of the vehicle will depend on vehicle speed, highway conditions, vehicle condition and the
driver’s condition.
No one wants to become involved in an automobile crash, yet every day our print media and
electronic media as well occupy a considerable amount of space and time to cover incidents due to the
motor vehicles. Sometimes, motor vehicle accidents become top news with red letter head on front
pages of the news papers. The safest drivers are those who are always alert and attentive to their
driving. The majority of the crashes occur as the result of errors in driver’s judgment, not defective
equipment or poor road conditions.
Preventable accidents are unacceptable in our organization. We shall not be reluctant to risk, but
must ensure that t h e benefits comp ensate the risk and implement every available control
measure to mitigate it. By this means, we will preserve our most precious resource - our people.
In support of the safety and accident prevention initiatives and programs B AS I C will implement
the measures identified in this document in order to ensure a safe and healthful environment at or
outside of the workplace.
Leadership will promptly evaluate and correct hazards. Leaders will not initiate, nor support,
reprisal action against personnel who identify hazards, raise safety concerns, or engage in
authorized safety and occupational health activities. Any known or suspected reprisals will
immediately be reported to the BASIC office.
The elements outlined in this manual are to be considered the minimum standard. Organization i s
encouraged to move beyond a n d d e v el op m o r e f o r compliance, and actively seek "Best Safety
Practices".

as sand, gravel and rubbish should be covered with sheets or tarpaulins.
Also, cargo or any other object may not obscure the driver's view ahead or to the right or left
sides, interfere with the free movement of his arms or legs, hinder his free and ready access to
accessories required for emergencies, or hinder the free and ready exit of any person from the
vehicle's cab or driver's compartment.
In addition, drivers of trucks and long trailers must inspect the cargo and the devices used to
secure the cargo within the first 50 km after beginning a trip. Adjustments are to be made to
the cargo or load securing devices as necessary, including adding more securing devices, to
ensure that cargo cannot shift on or within, or fall from the commercial motor vehicle. Re-
examine the commercial motor vehicle's cargo and its load securing devices during the course
of transportation and make any necessary adjustments whenever:
 The driver makes a change of his duty status; or

 The vehicle has been driven for 3 hours; or

 The vehicle has been driven for 150 km, whichever occurs first.

8.0 DRIVER BEHAVIORAL SAFETY

For safe driving practice & accident/incident free driving of vehicles, BASIC is committed to
hire and provide trained, competent drivers for operating vehicles. In order to ensure an
incident free environment, BASIC acknowledges the significance of Behavior Based Safety
(BBS) and is committed to enforce it in the day-to-day project activities. BASIC believes that
if the drivers follow the behavioral safety practices, these can reduce the chances of unwanted
events. BASIC Management shall monitor the following practices to ensure behavioral safety
of the drivers, which in turn will ensure safe operations of vehicles as well. Drivers’ behavior
will be monitored through the following practices:
 In-Vehicle Monitoring (IVM) system
 Behavior Based Safety observation
 Passenger feedback
 Random vehicle check
 Competency driving test
 Think Incident Free (TIF)
8.1 In-Vehicle Monitoring (IVM) system

In-Vehicle Monitoring System is an electronic device implanted in a vehicle, or fleet of
vehicles. Guided by sophisticated computer software at least at one operational base to enable
the owner or organization to track the vehicle's exact location, collecting data in the process
from the field and deliver it to the base of operation. This modern vehicle tracking system
uses GPS technology for locating the vehicle. Vehicle information can be viewed on
electronic maps via the internet using specialized software.
The In-Vehicle Monitoring (IVM) system serves the following benefits to its owners/users:
 Lessens potential collisions
 Reduce unauthorized / unscheduled vehicle use
 Increases productivity
 Greater foresight
 Improves driver’s driving habits
 Efficient management of fuel and time
8.2 Behavior Based Safety (BBS) observation

Driver’s behavior directly influences the performance of driving vehicles. For safe operation
of vehicle, driver’s behavioral actions play vital role. Several study, observation and
statistical data identified the following behavioral signs/practices are present in any driver’s
trait, which may the cause to lead the vehicle & human life in danger:
 Absent mind
 Driving without necessary inspection of vehicle before journey
 Over speeding
 Racing with any side/ nearby vehicle
 Using cell phone, writing or viewing SMS/e-mail
 Unnecessary overtaking & lane changing
 Eating, drinking, smoking, adjusting radio
 Consuming alcohol, drugs & medications or other substances which affect driving
 Unnecessary vehicle stopping
 Parking vehicles without maintaining general rules & regulations
The above mentioned behavioral activities are strictly prohibited and all these are against the
incident free driving. So, it is to be ensured that the drivers are well oriented on Behavior
Based Safety culture at the time of hiring.
8.3 Passenger feedback

Positive feedback can act as a consequence that increases behavioral safety awareness.
Passengers are associated with driver because they witness all sorts of events (good or bad)
during driving. So, their feedback is important element which influences directly on driver’s
behavior. Passenger feedback gives idea/ data to employer about performance of the driver
during driving which related with behavioral safety & competency driving. On reviewing the
passenger’s comments/ data, employer can determine whether the driver is fully competent or
requires training or keep under monitoring.
8.4 Random vehicle check

Pre-trip inspection of vehicle is obligatory for driver which minimizes the chances of victims
& hazards. Also inspection of vehicle may be done during journey period or weekly, monthly
& annually. Random inspection helps driver to diagnose any minor faults, mechanical &

electrical faults which minimize the company’s vehicle maintenance cost. Moreover,
checking of vehicles randomly prolong the scope of safe driving without any accident.
8.5 Competency driving test

Competency test of a driver related to different parameters i.e. knowledge about traffic rules
& regulation, traffic signs (safety sign, road marking), safe operating knowledge & also
behavioral safety knowledge. Driving competency test conducted by appropriate authority,
i.e. BRTA. A 6 member team of Police Commissioner, Engineer, Polytechnic Institute
Teacher of Power Dept., Civil Surgeon & Traffic Police headed by a Magistrate, is formed by
BRTA for reviewing competency of driver. After passing driving competency test, a driver
can get a driving license. So, if such competency test is performed by a driver successfully,
he or she gathers knowledge how to operate vehicle safely. Hence, this enriches driver’s
confidence to driving vehicle maintaining all rules & regulations.
8.6 Think Incident Free (TIF)

Pre-trip & during driving, driver must think & perform all sorts of tasks to be incident free.
The following four points are considered as navigating principle for safe journey
management & incident free driving:
 State of mind
 Training
 Planning
 Proper Tools & Equipment
8.6.1 State of mind

Driver should keep full attention on vehicle driving while he sits behind the steering. If any
confusion rises in connection with journey, it should be clarified before the trip begins,
otherwise the trip should be postponed. Ensure that necessary safety requirements are
fulfilled for ensuring safe journey. Keep stress free & be well rested before operation of
vehicle.
8.6.2 Training
Any training enriches knowledge level both by theoretically & practically. Training builds
confidence to perform jobs, operate tools & equipments in safe manner complying with all
regulations. BASIC will provide Defensive Driving training to all its motor vehicle operators
periodically.

8.6.3 Planning
Every trip requires pre-trip planning as the general consideration is, the scenario always
changes because of the different variables come into play while a motor vehicle travels
through the road. Before every trip commences, planning is mandatory for driver and driver
has to plan about how he will perform this task, which way will be more safe. Driver has to
plan about the associated hazards which may be introduced during operation & also plan the
way to overcome the hazards. Driver will plan his travel in accordance with the approved
journey management plan.
8.6.4 Proper Tools & Equipment

Before operation of vehicle, driver shall ensure that his PPEs, safety devices, necessary handy
tools required so as to perform road side repairs (if any) etc. are kept in place. During pre-trip
inspection, driver must check that required tools & equipments are safe to use and
functioning properly. Tools & equipments should be kept in a suitable place where could be
accessed easily during the state of emergencies and that the equipments would not itself be a
cause of hazard.
9.0 VEHICLE SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURE

For operating a vehicle safely, a driver must maintain some rules & regulations properly.
BASIC management follows prevailing systems & also implements new procedures in order
to ensure vehicle safe operation. For smooth operation & risk free driving of vehicles, drivers
should take care about the following:
 Concentration/ mind set up on assigned duty
 Motor vehicle pre-operation inspection
 Planning before start of the journey
 Drive vehicle safely
 Parking
9.1 Concentration/ mind set up on assigned duty

Every work demands concentration, especially when it comes to driving. A driver must
concentrate on his duty and he should never be in absent minded. The bewildering state of
mind will invite unwanted hazards. To avoid these situations BASIC management will ensure
that the drivers are free from any anxiety.

9.2 Motor Vehicle pre-operation inspection:
Inspection 1: Exterior
The following exterior inspection to be done more efficiently before starting engine:
 Headlights - Both high and low beams must be checked.
 Turn Signals - Front and back pairs of signals must work. In addition hazard lights
must be operational.
 Back-up Lights - Back-up lights must work if transmission is shifted into reverse.
 Mirrors - All mirrors must be present, unobstructed, and adjusted with the driver’s
ergonomics.
 Windshield Wipers - Windshield wipers must work at all settings. Wiper fluid pump
should also be tested.
 Windows - Windows must be secure and in good operating condition.
 Tires - All tires should be visibly inspected for inflation and tread wear.
 Body Damage - Check for any damage appears on the vehicle body & it should be
repaired considering the damage condition.
 Cleanliness - Outside of the vehicle should be inspected for accumulated dirt and
grime.
Inspection 2: Interior
 License & others important documents - Check that Valid Driving license,
registration certificate, tax-token, insurance certificate, fitness certificate & route
permit etc. are available in the glove compartment.
 Brakes - Brakes should be checked by putting the vehicle in gear and applying brakes
without acceleration.
 Steering - Steering wheel should both have a full range of motion and effectively turn
the front wheels.
 Gauges and Indicators - All gauges and indicators should be visually inspected to
make sure that they are operational.
 Transmission Selector - Vehicle should be capable of being shifted into any gear.
 Radio - If the vehicle is equipped with a radio, a radio check should be conducted
with dispatch.
 Cleanliness - The interior of the vehicle should be free of any litter, food, loose
bottle/objects or excessive dirt.
 Horn – Horn must be checked properly. Also careful about the clear sound found
which will be beneficial for pedestrians.

 Spare wheel – Check spare wheel is available and secured properly. Check that it is
inflated properly and is in good operating condition.
Inspection 3: Engine & Fluids

Driver should visibly inspect the engine compartment and accordingly check thoroughly the
functions associated with engine for smooth operation. The following functions to be
inspected during engine inspection:
 Coolant level
 Coolant leak
 Radiator & radiator water level
 Engine oil
 Brake fluid

 Battery condition & electrolyte level
 Oil in air cleaner housing
 Water, sludge or engine coolant in oil
 Exhaust system (leakage, color of exhaust)
 Fire Extinguisher
9.3 Planning before start of the journey

Before starting a trip, a preemptive action for a driver is to make his own plan to complete the
schedule in a safe manner. Driver shall consider possibility of every tiny event which will
contribute in the total time required to reach the ultimate destination safely maintaining safe
speed limit. Also, plan about route by checking road map or read the directions. If he passes
unknown terrain, planning should be made in advance. Moreover, driver has to collect
information/intelligence about traffic condition, road conditions & weather condition through
phone or radio.
All journeys, except journeys within towns, within 20km of a work site must have Journey
Management Plan which is a system for planning, authorizing and closing out journeys.

Journey Management plan requires during pre-trip to reduce the risk of accidents in the
journey. Journey Management plan includes following regulations which will reduce risks:
 Check whether this journey is necessary or not?

 Reducing travel duration
 Hazard identification related to Journey
 Find non-driving alternatives
 Night driving restriction
 Emergency Response Plan
 Route Planning
 Vehicle conditions inspection
 Information about Road conditions
 Information about weather conditions
9.4 Drive vehicle safely

During driving, Driver has to maintain the followings:
 Be well rested and stay alert. Ensure good mental and physical condition before
getting behind the wheel
 Wear seatbelt
 Don’t drive at excessive speeds and maintain speed limit as per limit given on road
side sign-post by appropriate authority. Strictly observe all speed limits including
those in restricted areas e.g. around schools and hospitals.
 Never drive vehicle exceeding the speed limit determined either by road side sign-
post or mandated by the authority. Above all, it is him who sits behind the steering to
make the decisions on the move. The best choice for a driver is to drive according to
the road condition. For example, the road is wide enough to speeding and road sign-
post shows maximum speed is allowed 80kmph, but while raining the driver should
not try for 80kmph. He should be judgmental here, consider other factors, and
maintain a safe and controllable speed limit.
 Follow vehicles at a safe distance, no tailgating
 Give way to other vehicles to merge and change lanes
 Keep eyes on side mirrors during overtaking & lane changing any vehicles. During
overtaking, always keep minimum safe distance from left/right/front side vehicle.
Judge the behavior of the driver of overtaking vehicle whether he is willing to provide
space for overtaking or not.

 Drive defensively. Pay attention to and be courteous of vehicular and pedestrian
traffic
 Consuming alcohol, drugs or other substances that may affect driving are prohibited
 Be aware of changing driving conditions such as the volume of traffic, weather etc.
 Do not use cellular phones or other devices, read or write SMS/e-mail
 Keep distractions to a minimum (eating, drinking, adjusting radio, etc.)
 Do not reach for items that are out of reach or have fallen or shifted. Pull over and
stop to reach them
 Do not write notes while driving
 Take 15 minutes break at every 2 hours of continuous journey
 Pullover to check your map to avoid any further stress or distractions
9.5 Parking
Parking is important part of safe operation of vehicle. Vehicle has to park in different
situations, i.e. during break, maintenance, repairing of mechanical fault during driving &
after end of operation. Careless parking may introduce accidents, damages to human &
property. So, driver should follow the safe parking procedure mentioned below:
 Park vehicle at a convenient place
 Keep safe distance from moving vehicles & people
 Never park in front of emergency exit
 Never park at Highway road side
 During parking, doors & windows of vehicles must be locked
 If a vehicle having any kind of fault, must put warning tag and then park

10.0 DRIVER RECOGNITION AND DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM

BASIC believes that employees’ morale, dedication and satisfaction to job etc. are the driving
force to sustain and progress as an organization in the competitive market. In order to
maximize the productivity of the projects BASIC considers that the drivers and heavy
equipment operators’ action/performance is a great contributing factor which should be
recognized. All the drivers and heavy equipment operators working with BASIC are
considered under this program with the following:

Driver recognition program:
The Safe Driver Award Program recognizes drivers who have proven their skill in avoiding
accidents. This standard of performance, when effectively communicated and understood by
both drivers and management, becomes a logical, fair and workable basis for recognizing a
personal contribution to safe driving. To ensure that all drivers and management understand
the ways in which an award can be attained and to keep interest in the awards at a peak, the
following rules and procedures are to be established.
BASIC Management proposes the recognition/ award program to energize/ motivate the
drivers to perform their duties properly & without any incident. The following are
incorporated in recognition program:
 Monthly incentive: BASIC’s specific project management has the full discretion to set
the interval and value (but not less than Tk. 500.00/person) of the award in its own
capacity. Project management can increase/decrease the number of awards according
to the project’s dynamics. The awards shall be given in the morning tool-box meeting
in the form of cash.
 Driver of the quarter: BASIC’s specific project management has the full discretion to
set the value of the award in its own capacity. One person can be selected for each
quarter. The selected person should be an example of safety leadership. The award
shall be given in the morning tool-box meeting in the form of cash.
 Driver of the Year: Each year, BASIC management will award one person with the
title of ‘Driver of the year’. With other factors, the selection criteria shall include at
least 6 month of continuous satisfactory performance with zero incidence. BASIC
project (s) management shall send the proposed names of the drivers to head office
with appropriate justification for review and approval process. The entitlement shall
include a certificate of recognition with financial benefit equivalent to one month
basic salary.
Driver disciplinary program:

Any incident directly affects the projects’ cost and company’s reputation as well. To reduce
the costs associated with vehicle accidents and to ensure that safe driving practices are being
followed, BASIC management shall also ensure to keep drivers accountable for their duties
and actions. Key elements of such a program are:
 Formal defined written driving safety rules

 Clearly established consequences for violating safety rules, incurring moving
violations or involvement in preventable vehicle accidents
 A fair way to determine preventability of vehicle accidents
 Regular monitoring of driver motor vehicle records (MVRs)
 A means for monitoring/supervising drivers while they are on the road
Written Driving Safety Rules:

A handbook constitutes safe behavior behind the wheel will be distributed to every person
who drives BASIC vehicles. The formal rules will include but not be limited to: seatbelt
usage, alcohol/drug use and abuse, safe following distance, safe reversing rules, use of cell
phones and texting, speeding, transporting unauthorized passengers and personal use of
company vehicle. Additional safety rules will be added based on the type of work being
performed and the type of vehicles being operated. A signed receipt obtained from each
driver that indicates that they all have read the safety rules in the handbook and agrees to
follow them. A copy of this receipt will be filed up in the employee’s personnel file.
Consequences:
Part of the handbook for drivers included a formal general service rules, standard work site
practices, work place discipline, which clearly spells out what disciplinary actions will be
taken regarding a driver’s involvement in preventable accidents, incurring moving violations,
or violating the Company’s safety rules. The policy may stipulate immediate termination of
employment for serious violations such as driver under the influence, while calling for
progressive discipline (verbal warning, written warning, suspension and termination) in
response to less serious rule violations, preventable accidents and moving violations.
Determining Accident Preventability:

The concept of an ‘Accident Review Committee’ is similar to a jury system. Instead of
having the determination of preventability for a specific vehicle accident being in the hands
of one person, the accident review committee discusses the evidence and makes the decision.
Since a driver’s livelihood may hang in the balance, having several people evaluate the
circumstances of the accident adds a level of fairness to the process.
A typical ‘Accident Review Committee’ will consist of representatives from management as

well as employee/ driver representatives. The committee’s standard for evaluating vehicle
accidents should be based on the concept of preventability. This concept, which has its roots
in defensive driving, defines preventability as: Driving in full compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations, and in such a manner as to avoid accident involvement despite the

adverse conditions of the road, weather, traffic, or the errors and actions of others.
Motor Vehicle Record Monitoring:

Drivers will not capable to always inform management if they receive a moving violation or
if their license becomes suspended, and this is especially true if the violation happened away
from work in their personal vehicle. Failure to report moving violations on time to
management should be cause for disciplinary action.
We ensure that all BASIC employees, who drive vehicles on its behalf, have a driver’s
license that is in good standing and driving record that reflects the safety standards of the
company. For this reason, company reviews the Motor Vehicle Records (MVRs) of each
person with driving privileges at least on an annual basis.
Driver Supervision
While site-based employees can be observed by a supervisor at any point during the workday,
it is far more difficult to monitor and supervise those who are driving vehicles. A key element
to an effective fleet safety program is to be able to identify and correct poor driving habits
and violations of safety rules by drivers while they are out on the road. This can be
accomplished by:
 Periodic Supervisor Ride-Along – A program where a supervisor will ride with each
employee driver several times a year to observe and document what the driver is
doing well from a safety standpoint and what needs correcting. It should be noted that
most drivers will be on their best behavior while being directly observed by a
supervisor.
 Clandestine Observations – A program where a supervisor will follow and observe a
driver without his knowledge. The supervisor will document the findings of the
observation, and will review the findings and take corrective action with the driver at
the end of the shift.
 Satellite Monitoring – This program uses GPS/ IVMS technology to allow supervisors
to monitor the location and speed of vehicles in their fleet. While not a substitute for
actual observations of drivers, this technology can be particularly helpful in
identifying drivers who speed or take the vehicle to unauthorized locations.

11.0 FLEET VEHICLE MANAGEMENT

12.0 JOURNEY MANAGEMENT PLAN (JMP)

With a view to enhance the safety of personnel/property and reduce motor vehicle crashes
BASIC will consider Journey Management Plan to the trips of every vehicle.
12.1 High Risk Journey

The journeys shall be identified as High Risk under the following conditions:
 Vehicle carries more than 8 passengers
 Distance exceeds 20 km one way
 Involves night driving
 Known abnormal road or weather condition
 Travel to/through an unknown terrain
 Travel through areas of civil unrest (hortal, road blockade, strike etc.)
 Transport of any type of hazardous goods
 Heavy vehicle or equipment (gross vehicle weight 4,500 kg or more)
BASIC suggests the followings to reduce the risk of journey

 Minimize the exposure to risk
 Making only necessary trips, reduce the amount of travelling
 Identify the associated hazards to the journey
 Use of non-driving alternatives
 Management’s involvement in high risk journey planning
BASIC suggests that Journey Management planning should be addressed
 During planning
 Before journey and
 During driving
The following points are related to safe journey management plan:
Planning before journey:

 Determine the necessity of this driving
 Check necessary documents i.e. valid driving license, blue book, tax-token, insurance
certificate, fitness certificate & route permit
 Share the driving schedule with other drivers & supervisors
 Inspect properly & ensure that the vehicle is in a safe condition
 Make sure you are not impaired by alcohol or drugs or chemical substances
 Make sure you are well rested
 Avoid driving in peak sleepiness periods
Planning before journey about route:

 Avoid night driving
 Plan where to take rest breaks of 15 minutes at every 2 hours of continuous driving
 Plan where to stop & stay at night
 Check for delays - plan alternative routes
Planning during Driving:

 Take break
 Listen to traffic news for possible delays
 Concentrate on your driving
 Fatigue management
 Be aware about potential of wildlife during driving at dawn or dusk
JMP process:
Taking into account the risks involved with any journey, BASIC will plan the journeys with
following procedure and be maintained in 3 phases:
 Preparation
 Implementation
 Follow up
Preparation:
It is the planning stage of the journey and most important stage of the JMP. Actually, most
accidents & injuries are avoidable, and if an accident/injury does occur, proper planning will

provide a means of effectively dealing with the situation and lessening the severity of
incident.
It is mandatory that the supervisor, with the help of the drivers, determine the logistics of the
trip before leaving. A number of details should be addressed in a pre-trip meeting including:
 Destination
 Routes (preferred and alternates)
 Weather conditions
 Timing considerations
 Communicating devices & emergency contacts
 Emergency response procedures (ERP)
In this type of similar job daily, pre-trip meetings should be done in accordance with the daily
toolbox meetings. During these meetings, all potential journey risks should be assessed and
steps to mitigate these risks should be outlined. The pre-trip meeting should determine
whether a trip is routine or non-routine, as to measure how much precaution will be required.
Routine Trip: It involves travel within pre-determined /familiar /usual trips around work
area or nearer city. Typically a routine trip will not involve the use of maps or GPS.
Non-routine Trip: Non-routine trips involve travel outside of a pre-determined locale and
pose a significantly higher risk. Trips are identified as non-routine in the pre-trip meeting and
can involve any number of escalating factors. Some examples of escalating factors are:
 Weather conditions
 Fog or smoke
 Mud, snow and ice
 Cross winds/ blowing snow
 Night driving
 Forestry roads /one way traffic
 Low angle sun
 Deterioration of road surface
 Wild life
 Fatigue
 Windshield condition/visibility
 Road closures or accidents

Implementation:
This is the actual travel stage of the journey. Driver must be diligent in sticking to the
guidelines set in the preparation stage. In the case that an unexpected situation arises, driver
should re-evaluate his plan accordingly.
These rules are to abide by in case of an emergency:
1. If the driver have faced any incident or become hurt in a remote area several
kilometers away from any settlement – he is advised not to leave the vehicle, call for
help and remain at his geographic location
2. Refer to the Emergency Response Plan (ERP) for a list of emergency contacts number
in the area
3. Always ensure that IVMS/ GPS or similar device present in the vehicle so that the
vehicle’s location can be traced easily
4. Communication with the Supervisor/ HES Manager at the Control Room/ Head
Office is essential. Always provide details information of the accident as quickly as
possible over phone or email if possible
5. If the driver has to change the directions from pre-planned routes, he must
communicate with the Supervisor & Control Room
6. Driver should stop immediately, take rest, evaluate the risk and find a method to
control the hazard if he does not feel comfort to drive in a safe manner.
Follow Up:
The follow up procedure is the final step in the Journey Management Plan. If all of above
steps goes well then there should be little follow up to be ensured. Notes can also be made in
regards to any near misses or potential hazards and how they were avoided.
In the case that an accident/injury does occur, a thorough follow up investigation is to be
ensured. The purpose of this is to address where things went wrong and how this
accident/injury could be avoided in the future.
13.0 INCIDENT MANAGEMENT, REPORTING, ANALYSIS & TRACKING

TRAFFIC ACCIDENT
 Assess & secure the scene – make sure scene is safe before entering.
 Assess need for medical assistance – if needed, call nearest police station.
 Don’t move an injured person unless his/her life is in immediate danger.
 Call for someone trained in First Aid/CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) &
retrieve First Aid kit (you may offer First Aid/CPR if currently certified & capable).
 Pull (if possible) the vehicle to the side of the road & notify police.

 Notify BASIC office of the incident.
 Exchange information with other parties & identify witnesses.
