Product Overview
The Company Vehicle Use Policy is a comprehensive, ready-to-use safety document designed specifically for Australian businesses whose workers drive for work. Whether your fleet consists of sales cars, delivery vans, trucks or site utes, this policy provides a clear framework to manage driving risks and meet your work health and safety obligations.
Developed by WHS specialists, it sets out practical rules and procedures for safe vehicle use, from pre-start checks and driver authorisation through to fatigue management, load restraint and incident reporting. It is suitable for organisations of all sizes across transport and logistics, building and construction, and office or corporate environments where staff regularly travel to clients or sites.
Key Features
- Comprehensive WHS-focused company vehicle policy aligned with Australian legislation.
- Covers cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy vehicles and site vehicles.
- Clear roles and responsibilities for officers, managers, supervisors and drivers.
- Detailed sections on safe driving, fatigue, drugs and alcohol, mobile phone use and speed management.
- Guidance on vehicle selection, safety features, fit-out and maintenance.
- Practical checklists for pre-start inspections and incident reporting.
- Template-style tables for maintenance records and driver authorisation registers.
Benefits
- Strengthen WHS compliance: Demonstrate that you have robust systems in place to manage vehicle-related risks under WHS laws and, where relevant, the Heavy Vehicle National Law.
- Reduce incidents and injuries: Clear rules on safe driving, load restraint and fatigue management help lower the likelihood of crashes, near misses and manual handling injuries.
- Save time on safety documentation: Avoid starting from scratch. This policy provides a structured, professional foundation you can adapt to your operations.
- Support consistent practices: Standardise expectations across branches, depots and project sites so all drivers and managers work to the same safety standards.
- Protect your people and reputation: Well-documented vehicle procedures help safeguard workers, the public and your brand.
Who is this for?
- Transport and logistics operators managing fleets of vans, rigid trucks or prime movers.
- Construction companies using utes, service vehicles and trucks to move people, tools and materials.
- Sales teams and corporate staff who regularly drive to client meetings, sites or regional offices.
- Small and medium businesses wanting a professional company vehicle policy to support WHS compliance.
- Safety managers, HR professionals and compliance officers responsible for safety documentation and fleet governance.
Legislation & References
This policy has been developed with reference to key Australian work health and safety requirements, including harmonised WHS Acts and Regulations, relevant state and territory road rules, and the Heavy Vehicle National Law and Chain of Responsibility duties where applicable. It also reflects recognised guidance on fatigue management, load restraint and safe work practices for driving-related tasks.
Use this policy as part of your broader WHS management system to demonstrate due diligence, improve safety outcomes and maintain strong WHS compliance across your vehicle operations.
