Other considerations: - ensure thorough examination by external competent person (usually via insurance company) - FLT Driver training - 3 stages - Basic Certificate, Specific job training, Familiarisation training. Keep records of training, accidents, disciplinary actions etc. - FLT Driver health - assessment needs to ask questions about heart condition, epilepsy, vision, hearing, mental health - Refresher training - ACoP says it should be given - Driver reassessment - when job or health changes etc John W
