Minibus operations and road safety policy
Your blueprint and first step
A minibus road safety policy is your blueprint and first step towards safely operating a minibus within the law.
Your policy should also include specific and delegated responsibilities, updated legislation and good practice but more importantly act as a signpost of procedures for all your staff and volunteers to follow.
Policies which have been created off the back of advice sheets or code of conduct booklets tend to offer just general basic advice, which may not apply to your specific requirements or circumstances. Furthermore, these documents are seldom updated thus omitting important changes in legislation and responsibilities.
A policy should be tailor-made to offer your organisation only specific, relevant and up to date information, positive direction and the exact responsibilities for all those involved to ensure that your minibus is operated and driven within the law.
