A face mask and safety goggles must be used if working in close proximity with others. You may need to wear hi-vis in certain working environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check with your employer how frequently you should be cleaning the vehicle. In some cases it may be after every pickup\/delivery, while in others it might be daily, weekly or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you go to the vehicle, make sure you have enough cleaning and anti-bacterial products to hand. The vehicle may need replenishing with hand sanitiser and you will need to use it before you start cleaning and after you stop cleaning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s advisable to have a checksheet in the vehicle where the vehicle&#8217;s cleaning schedule can be logged. Be sure to clean this, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t start the cleaning while there are other people in the vehicle or close by outside the vehicle. Passengers&#8217; personal items should be removed before you start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wipe all surfaces in the cab down with antibacterial wipes or spray. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Handrails used for climbing in and out of the vehicle<\/li><li>Door handles (exterior and interior)<\/li><li>Seats<\/li><li>Steering wheel<\/li><li>Cab controls and instrument panel (including the air conditioning and stereo controls)<\/li><li>Handbrake, seatbelts, seatbelt release mechanism.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are refuelling, use disposable gloves or wipe the pump handle, pump controls (e.g. where you pay) and the fuel cap with antibacterial wipes before commencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have finished cleaning, place all disposable items (wipes, gloves, etc) in a rubbish bin and put your cleaning products away in a safe location; cleaning products should not be stored where non-authorised people can access them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wash and dry your hands and\/or use hand sanitiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There may be other hazards associated with specific jobs &#8211; this guide doesn&#8217;t cover those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For drivers delivering goods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goods delivery drivers will need to sanitise any items they have picked up which could have been touched by someone&#8217;s hands. Wear suitable gloves for loading and unloading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay at least 2 metres from any people you are picking up from or delivering to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To ensure that your vehicle is completely sanitised to reduce the risk of catching a transmissible disease such as COVID-19, follow these steps: When cleaning, you must wear gloves.
