To ensure that your vehicle is completely sanitised to reduce the risk of catching a transmissible disease such as COVID-19, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When cleaning, you must wear gloves. 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
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
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
It’s advisable to have a checksheet in the vehicle where the vehicle’s cleaning schedule can be logged. Be sure to clean this, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t start the cleaning while there are other people in the vehicle or close by outside the vehicle. Passengers’ personal items should be removed before you start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wipe all surfaces in the cab down with antibacterial wipes or spray. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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
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
Wash and dry your hands and\/or use hand sanitiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There may be other hazards associated with specific jobs – this guide doesn’t cover those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goods delivery drivers will need to sanitise any items they have picked up which could have been touched by someone’s hands. Wear suitable gloves for loading and unloading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stay at least 2 metres from any people you are picking up from or delivering to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
