Working Safely – Candidate Advice
Where possible, maintain 1.5 m social distancing from other workers and members of the public. Where this is not possible, follow the guidance of the client.
To help facilitate social distancing, shift times may vary. Be sure to check your booking confirmation – even if you have worked for the customer previously.
Loading and deliver
You may find that these processes have been adapted to facilitate social distancing. Please ensure that you follow any instructions provided.
If you must travel in a shared vehicle sit to the other occupant rather than behind the other. In shared vehicles ensure good ventilation, for example by opening windows where appropriate.
Many companies are trying to ensure minimal or no contact deliveries. Please follow revised delivery procedures as communicated by the customer.
Hygiene matters. Wash hand often – and regularly clean the vehicle. If you are declined access to welfare facilities, please inform both the client and your local Driver Hire office.
Stay safe, This checklist has been provided for your information. It’s important that you follow all Government advice at this time. You can read more information on our website – www.driverhire.com.au/covid19
