Driving & transport

Production vehicles, load-outs and getting home.

Keep track of required loading, waiting, driving and unloading, as well as time on set. Confirm transport duties and arrangements for getting home before the call.

Use the vehicle and transport bulletins for the activity involved. Ask Employment Standards about disputed travel time; not every journey is paid work.

Questions before work starts

  • Who is authorized to drive, and has the vehicle and load been checked?
  • What should you do if you are too tired to drive or conditions are unsafe?
  • Are required driving time, accommodation and transport responsibilities recorded in the agreement?

Your supervisor or qualified specialist still needs to assess the task and explain the procedure.
