Emergency response: the PEAR principle
Every emergency plan is built to protect four things:
Our policies
How we manage risk
Emergency response
Emergency response plans protect life, limit environmental impact and safeguard assets. Drills, training and preparedness reviews keep teams ready.
Accident and incident reporting
All accidents, incidents and near misses are reported, investigated and reviewed to prevent them happening again.
Fatigue management
Fatigue is a major transport risk. Scheduling rules, rest requirements and supervision support driver wellbeing and safe operations.
Drug and alcohol
We apply zero tolerance to alcohol and substance misuse to protect our employees, customers and the public.
Hazard and risk management
Hazards are identified, assessed, controlled and reviewed through inspections, observations, incident investigations and employee engagement.
Driver training
Continuous training gives drivers the competence, knowledge and professionalism to work safely and effectively.
