This SWMS is free and editable, so you can use and adapt it for your own driving and transport needs.

Driving is one of the most dangerous activities, even for construction companies and workers who manage high risk activities all day long.

Driving on site is dangerous; driving to and from site is dangerous; and driving or transportation in remote areas which is quite common in industrial jobs is very dangerous.

Many of the things companies can do to best manage and mitigate driving and transport risks are simple things like talking about driving safety, ensuring people don't get complacent and documenting good driving habit and practices in the form of a safe work method statement.

This driving and general transport safe work method statement is a flexible framework which you can edit and customise for yourself. You can add your own job steps, safety requirements and hazards, and develop a strong SWMS which your people can easily view on any device and sign off on.

Too many injuries, fatalities and lost productive hours occur because of driving incidents already - so make sure everyone on your teams is approaching driving in the same standardised and safe manner.
