Section 2 – General Information
SAFETY COMMITTEE
If the vehicles are to be operated by renters or company
employees, we recommend that a safety committee be
appointed. The primary concern of this committee should be the
safe operation of the vehicles.
Subjects which must be considered include, but are not limited
to, the following:
•
Define where the vehicles should and should not be driven
and utilized.
•
Ensure all proper warnings as to driving hazards are
properly displayed and visible.
•
Safety signage concerning hills, turns, blind crossings or
intersections is highly recommended.
•
Enforcement of safe driving and operating rules.
•
Provide driver training for first time operators, and review
safe operating recommendations regularly.
•
Maintain vehicles in a safe operating condition. Maintain
a schedule for daily, weekly, and monthly vehicle
inspections.
•
Determine who, when and how pre-operation inspections
should be conducted.
•
Enforcement of safe driving and operating rules.
•
Define who should and who should not drive the vehicles.
•
Decide what to do should an unsafe condition or operating
problem be discovered.
•
Enforce that vehicle should not be operated by persons
under the age of 16.
These basic rules of operation, combined with courtesy and
common sense, will help make driving your Columbia ParCar
Vehicles a safe and pleasant experience.
