- The nature of the goods/items being transported, such as pharmaceuticals, money, and high-value items.
- Working alone and in isolated areas. Managers must use the standard Location X Rent-A-Car risk assessment process to assess all the jobs/tasks being done by those undertaking work-related driving duties to identify which individuals will be at risk.
Consideration should be given to:
- Nature of goods/items being transported.
- Vehicle suitability for transport of items, including the security of the items within the vehicle.
- Parking availability at collection/drop-off points.
- Distances traveled by individuals from vehicle to collection/delivery point.
- Route planning, including varying routes/timings.
- Quantity of items being transported.
- Containers/bags used for transport of items in public areas
- Provision of personal alarms and
- Actions to take in the event of attempted theft.
- The necessary control measures required to reduce the risk to as low as reasonably practicable must then be implemented.
- All vehicles should be locked whilst unattended, and keys should be left in unattended vehicles on no account.
- Where practicable, items of value should keep out of site during working hours and be removed from vehicles which are parked overnight.
