The operator implements mechanisms to confirm that each driver is appropriately licensed and fit to perform safety-related tasks at the time required, covering physical and mental health, fatigue and impairment by alcohol or drugs, and supports drivers to disclose relevant conditions without fear of reprisal, consistent with privacy and employment obligations; issues are to be identified early, communicated and acted on so unsafe driving is prevented. The criteria: licence verification for the vehicle class and task is defined and used in practice, including for new, relief and casual drivers and changed duties; fitness-to-drive expectations are practical and usable at the point of work; drivers are empowered to not start or to cease driving when they consider themselves unfit, with known reporting pathways and response options that do not penalise reporting; non-reprisal is built into how reports are received, recorded, escalated and actioned; a defined escalation and response process for suspected unfitness sets how concerns are raised, who decides, what interim controls apply and how outcomes are implemented; practical contingency capability (substitution, rescheduling, reassignment or other measures) prevents unsafe driving; supervisors and schedulers can recognise indicators of unfitness and start the process; where other parties such as customer sites may observe fitness issues, workable reporting pathways exist; health and fitness information is handled confidentially with appropriate access, secure handling and use limited to safety decisions; and the mechanisms are reviewed and improved on triggers such as repeated self-reports, fatigue or impairment incidents or feedback about reporting barriers.
