Toolbox Talk: Loading Bays

• When you are placing a trailer on the loading bay/ removing from a bay, you must drop the air, using the air suspension valve and ensure you engage the trailer brake and turn off the refrigeration unit.
  The steps are simple for a loading procedure on the manual bays.
  • Collect a trailer and confirm the fridge is working correctly.
  • Reverse the trailer onto the bay.
  • Drop all the air out of the trailer suspension via turning the valve clockwise (only moves ¼ turn)
  • Engage trailer brake at this point.
  • Lower the trailer so it is now resting on the legs.
  • Turn off the refrigeration unit.
  The steps to follow for removing a trailer from the bay are as follows.
  • Still following the green light procedure.
  • Check trailer brake.
  • Connect to the trailer.
  • Turn on the refrigeration unit.
  • Disengage the trailer brake.
  • Move the trailer forward.
  • Audible Check the fridge is working.
  • Charge the trailer suspension air tanks so it is in the ride height setting.
  • Park up trailer ensuring the Parking brake is engaged.
  
  Failure to carry out this task is causing damage to the trailer legs, which is a cost to the business as well as a huge safety risk.
  Turning fridges off will save fuel, reducing cost and help with our carbon footprint.
  Any issues with fridges should be reported in the usual way.

Toolbox Talk: Truck Wash

• Trailers:
  It is essential that ALL TRAILERS, be washed when dirty. We have a reputation to keep customers see a dirty lorry and make judgments on us. Also, we need to ensure that we keep ourselves complaint with the law, in regard to number plates and lights.
  
  Tractor Units:
  It is essential that ALL UNITS, be washed when dirty. Not only does it make it harder to drive through less visibility but also increases the risk of an accident. We need to present ourselves on the road with clean Trucks especially as we work with food.
  Do not leave it for the next person. Failure to comply with this toolbox talk, could result in disciplinary action.

Toolbox Talk: Unit and Trailer Brakes

• Unit brake
  Ensure the unit hand brake is applied before dismounting. This must be always carried out, especially when a MAN unit is coupled up to a ANCRA trailer.
  The new MAN unit handbrake when in gear will release itself when the accelerator pedal has been touched.
  Ensure when stationary the engine is always switched off or in neutral. We have had 4 instances of runaways, due to engines been left running when left in gear.
  Trailer brake
  NOT ALL TRAILER BRAKES ARE AUTOMATIC
  The latest trailers park brake DOES NOT automatically come on when red airline has been disengaged. ALWAYS CHECK THIS MANUALLY.
  Following the BLACK procedure, the first thing that should be checked is the trailer brake.
  • Brake
  • Legs
  • Airline
  • Clip
  • Kingpin
  This procedure is taught when learning how to drive an HGV. We should have no trailers on site without the trailer brake applied.
  Drivers should also be checking trailer brakes as part of their pre checks before coupling to a trailer.

• By signing, you agree you have been trained on unit and trailer brakes

  Sign

Toolbox Talk: Truck Keys

• Keys should NEVER be left in any Newcold Unit whilst you are away from it.
  While coupling and uncoupling the Unit keys MUST be always in your possession.
  The only exception from this is when unloading or loading Ancra trailers. After completion of unloading or loading, Unit keys MUST be always in your possession.
  This also applied on opening the trailer doors for loading and unloading.
  The truck MUST be locked for security reasons.
  Remember your personal possessions are inside the unit.

Toolbox Talk: Defect Reporting

• When finding a defect on a unit or trailer, the following process must be followed:
  
  • Ensure that defects are reported verbally, (whether this be by phone or face to face), texts or what’s app messages do not suffice although they help visually. A defect number will be supplied and must be written in the appropriate box on the drivers check sheet.
  
  • When taking a unit or trailer to be fixed, no additional repairs should be requested that have not been reported to the office.
  
  • If a minor defect has been fixed by a member of Newcold staff, e.g. bulb or fuse, a report still must be made to track reoccurring problems and for audit purposes.
  
  • When a driver stays in the vehicle all week defects should be reported as they arise instead of reporting all at once when back at base. A repair may be required on the road, a more senior member of staff will make the decision if the vehicle is roadworthy and if not put a plan in place for a repair.
  
  • Drivers must be aware that when away from base and wheels are removed on a tyre defect, they must make sure that the correct wheel fixing and retorque procedures have been carried out. If no documentation is issued, they must contact duty manager for instructions. When wheels are not removed this should also be noted on contractor’s job sheets.

• By signing, you agree you have been trained on defect reporting

Toolbox Talk: Checking Paperwork

• Due to many trailers being taken to delivery points with the wrong stock on we have decided to ensure that drivers know what they are looking for before leaving the yard.
  Things to check at the driver’s window:
  • Check your run sheet and make sure there is a trailer number in the correct box.
  • Check your POD (Proof of Delivery) to ensure the trailer number is the same as your run sheet.
  Things to check when at trailer:
  • If the trailer is sealed, check that the seal matches the one printed on the POD.
  • If the seal is placed on the handle, you can still check the seal corresponds, but you can also check the stock inside.
  • If the POD says Lantmannen but the stock on the trailer is Mccain’s you will need to return to the office and report it.
  • The final check will be to check the back pallet label for a SSCC number and find it on the POD.
  • The trailer MUST be sealed before leaving site
  By doing these checks we can reduce or delivery failures and help to run transport smoother.

• By signing, you agree you have been trained on checking paperwork

  Sign

Toolbox Talk: Proof of Delivery (POD) Paperwork

• As a transport company we charge our customers for deliveries completed by showing proof that we have delivered the stock. We do this by using a manifest of the stock loaded and the delivery point signs to say they have received all the stock.
  It is important to ensure that the delivery point signs the POD in order for us to charge the customer for the service provided.
  When a delivery point takes the POD, you must ask for a copy, ensure that your copy is signed.
  If the customer provides their own receipt note, e.g. Asda, Morrisons or Coop. Then this must be kept and returned to the transport office.
  

  

• By signing, you agree you have been trained on checking paperwork

  Sign

Toolbox Talk: Vehicle Heights and Bridges

• Any vehicle over 3 meters in height by law, must display an in cab height Indicator. Setting this to correct height should be included as part of a pre-check routine, or any trailer changes made. The In-cab height Indicator is usually displayed in feet & Inches. Always check that this is correctly set before commencing any journey. Should any governing body be involved at a check point or routine stop, the driver can receive a fine of up to £300 for incorrect height been displayed. The Height marker must be no less than the vehicles height and no more than 150mm/5.9 Inch above the vehicle’s height.
  
  Bridge signs usually give the information in both feet, Inches/ meters. It is important that you adjust your height indicator to correspond with the vehicle & trailer that you are driving. A bridge strike can have devastating consequences for both the driver & the company’s O’ License. The financial implications of a result of a bridge strike can run into 100,000 of pounds. Should you be in the unfortunate position of striking a bridge, you will most likely find yourself answering questions to a Traffic Commissioner.
  
  Satellite Navigation Systems (Sat Navs) are now something that most drivers need to be able to complete their working shift. If you are in possession of Satnav, it is a Newcold Policy that this be a HGV suitable device where vehicle height, width, & weight can be set. It is important before you commence any journey, that you plan your appropriate route taking into consideration any bridges on route. Any route or diversions should be checked for any height, weight or width restrictions.
  Procedure for a Bridge Strike If you do strike a Railway bridge, you must follow this procedure.
  
  • Make your vehicle safe & activate hazard warning lights
  • Look for the Railway Data Plate, usually on the nearside of the bridge.
  • Telephone the number displayed
  • Give the bridge reference number from the plate
  • Answer any questions of information required by the rail operator
  • Call the Police
  • Call your Employer
  This can result in fines, penalty points on the driver's license, or even a driving ban in severe cases. Regulatory action: for professional drivers and transport companies, a bridge strike can lead to regulatory action from the traffic commissioner.

  

• By signing, you agree you have been trained on Vehicle Heights and Bridges

Toolbox Talk: HGV Sat Navs

• When driving a HGV, there are two main considerations: safety and efficiency, HGV Sat Navs can help you with both.
  It is important that you use a dedicated HGV satellite navigation system or an appropriate HGV phone app.
  You must input the vehicles dimensions correctly to help avoid weight and height restrictions
  You must not use Google maps to navigate
  You cannot touch your Phone or HGV sat nav while driving, if adjustments need to be made to your route it is necessary that you find a safe place to stop to change the settings.

Toolbox Talk: Driving without Tacho Card

• Regulations within the transport industry play a crucial role in ensuring safety, accountability, and fair competition. But what happens if you drive without tacho card and ignore one of the most important regulations.
  The tacho card, known as the digital tachograph card, is a small but essential piece of technology that records and tracks a driver's activities, including driving time, rest periods, and more.
  In this article, we'll explore the implications for both individual drivers and companies if someone drives without a tacho card.
  What Happens If You Drive Without Tacho Card?
  Legal Consequences
  Driving without a tacho card is a flagrant violation of UK & EU regulations, and it can have severe legal consequences.
  Depending on where you are driving at the time, penalties may include fines, suspension of your driving licence, or even imprisonment in extreme cases. These consequences can have a long-lasting impact on your career.
  Professional Reputation
  Your reputation as a responsible and law-abiding driver can be ruined if you're caught driving without a tacho card. This can affect your chances of finding future employment in the industry and may lead to difficulties in securing insurance or other professional certifications.
  Financial Consequences
  Even if you manage to avoid immediate legal penalties, there can be financial implications.
  Operating without a tacho card means that you're not accurately recording your working hours, which could result in you not being paid correctly. Furthermore, you may be ineligible for certain benefits, such as overtime pay, due to the lack of accurate documentation.
  Companies - What Happens If You Drive Without Tacho Card?
  As an employer, you need to do all you can to make sure your drivers don't forget to use their tacho card! If they do, and even though it isn't your fault, there are serious consequences:
  
  Fines and Penalties
  Companies that allow their drivers to operate without a tacho card can face significant fines and penalties. These fines can be substantial, depending on the extent of the violation and the number of drivers involved.
  Additionally, companies might be subject to stricter auditing and compliance checks, increasing the likelihood of further penalties.
  Damage to Reputation
  Just as with drivers, a company's reputation can suffer if it is found to be non-compliant with tacho card regulations. This damage to reputation can affect relationships with clients and partners.
  Impact on Insurance
  Non-compliance with tacho card regulations can lead to higher insurance premiums or difficulties in obtaining insurance coverage. In some cases, insurance companies may refuse to cover a company with a history of non-compliance.
  Conclusion - What Happens If You Drive Without Tacho Card?
  Driving without a tacho card has serious consequences for both individual drivers and companies.
  Legal repercussions, damage to reputation, financial penalties, and increased administrative burdens are some of the potential fallout from non-compliance. To avoid these issues, it's essential for drivers and companies to understand and adhere to tachograph regulations. It's simply not worth the risk!
  Driving an HGV vehicle without a digital tachograph card inserted is not allowed.
  Missing mileage result from this and must be accounted for.
  

• I understand that I must always have my card inserted when driving a Newcold vehicle.

  Sign

Toolbox Talk: Manual Entry

• • Insert card into tacho head, you will be asked if you would like to share personal information, always allow.
  
  • Next you will be asked if you have been on rest until now. Most of the time you have started work before getting a unit so a manual entry will be required.
  
  • The tacho will ask if you finished at the time you finished on your last shift. Eg 14/3/23 17.20. Have you been on rest since then?
  
  • Next it will ask are you starting now? You will need to go back to the time you started work. Eg 15/3/23 9.30 but you started at 9.00. Press okay to navigate down to the time and roll back to 9.00.
  
  • Now from 9.00 until 9.30 you will set the activity to POA as you have been available to work but have not had a unit or if you been waiting in the office for paperwork.
  
  • After confirming the entries, you will be asked if you want to print them. If there have been no infringements, there is no need to print.
  
  • Lastly you can complete the entries, and you are ready to do your pre use checks.
  

• By signing, you agree you have been trained on manual entries.

Toolbox Talk: Driving Hours

• Driving
  • 9 hours daily driving limit (can be increased to 10 hours twice a week)  
  • Maximum 56 hours weekly driving limit  
  • Maximum 90 hours fortnightly driving limit
  Breaks  
  • 45 minutes break after 4.5 hours driving   
  • A break can be split into two periods, the first being at least 15 minutes and the second at least 30 minutes (which must be completed after 4.5 hours driving)  
  

•  I, understand the following information and retraining that has been given to me today.     Understanding that this could have an impact on my driving licence (fine, points or ban).    I understand through retraining I have received, the impact on Newcold’s O licence (OCRS) with not complying to WTD and driving hours.    I have been issued with EU rules on drivers’ hours and working time handout. 

  Sign

Toolbox Talk: WTD

• How many hours can I work in one week?  
  You may not exceed an average of 48 hours working time (driving and other work) per week over a specific reference period.  In addition, you must not work for more than 60 hours in any single week.
  
  Reference period 
  The number of hours worked each week should be averaged out over a continuous 26-week period.
  A reference period starts at 00:01 on Monday and runs for the relevant number of weeks until 24:00 on Sunday. If the 26-week reference period is selected there will be one period of 18 weeks to cover the year.
  
  How many hours can I work in one day?  
  Although there is no daily limit on the amount of working time in one day (between daily/weekly rest periods), the requirements for minimum daily rest (9 hours in 24) mean a driver cannot have a working day of more than 15 hours at most three times between weekly rest periods. Where a driver has a full daily rest of 11 hours, the maximum working day is 13 hours.
  
  What is classed as a week?  
  A ‘week’ means the period of time between 00.00 on Monday and 24.00 on Sunday. 
  
  WTD breaks: 
  A driver may not WORK (That means both driving & other work) for more than 6 hours at once without taking a break. 
  Before working beyond the 6 hours, you must have taken a break of at least 15 minutes. 
  You can take this before or upon reaching 6 hours of work. So long as you do not work longer than 6 hours without separating it with a break. 
  If working between 6 and 9 hours, then you are required to have taken at least 30 minutes of break in total before the end of your shift. 
  This can be taken all at once or in sections of 15 minutes but just remember that you can never work more than 6 hours in one stretch. 
  This pattern continues if working beyond the 9 hours threshold whereby a further 15 minutes is required. Once again, the 45 minutes can be taken all at once so long as you abide by the 6-hour rule.

• I, understand the following information and retraining that has been given to me today.   Understanding that this could have an impact on my driving licence (fine, points or ban).  I understand through retraining I have received, the impact on Newcold O licence (OCRS) with not complying to WTD.  I have been issued with EU rules on drivers’ hours and working time handout.

Out of Hours Policy

• 1. OBJECTIVE
  With the exception of Tramper Drivers, it is the policy that all drivers return to their depots at the end of their shift. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, there are occasions where it would either seem unlikely or that a driver is unable to return, this policy sets out the process to follow for both the driver and the Transport Management Team.
  2. SCOPE
  This policy applies to:
  • Agency and Newcold HGV Drivers
  • Transport Office Team Members
  
  3. POLICY STATEMENT
  Routes are planned to be completed within your working hours, however due to an unforeseen event, e.g. road traffic incident, weather conditions, vehicle breakdown etc, drivers can be delayed and have low or insufficient hours (RTD or WTD) to return to the depot legally. In these circumstances, the below process should be followed:
  • Be mindful of your working and driving hours and call in good time to advise of any issues so actions can be taken to ensure your safe return.
  • Drivers are to call the Transport Office (providing it is safe to do so) and advise their current situation; location, distance from the depot, current driving conditions, remaining legal time, breaks due etc.
  • The Transport Team Member will offer guidance given your individual situation, which may include speaking to your delivery site regarding a faster turnaround, advising you return immediately to the depot, sending a replacement driver in the event of a breakdown, find a safe place to park for your daily rest or alternative guidance.
  • Drivers should maintain contact with the Transport Office calling regularly with an update on their situation, allowing the Transport Team to offer the best guidance on your situation.
  • If you have been unable to return to the depot and have limited working or driving time available, you should make for the nearest safe place to stop for your daily rest. The Transport Office can offer guidance for you on where you can find a safe location.
  • The driver should call the Transport Office to confirm the location they have stopped at for their daily rest and confirm if they will be taking 9 or 11hrs rest.
  It should be noted that once your working time limit has been reached, you are no longer able to legally work, which prohibits you from being collected. If you are unable to return to the depot within your legal working or driving hours, you will be required take your daily rest in the vehicle.
  The Company has a SNAP account to pay for overnight stays at Service Stations, in the unlikely event this account does not work, payment can be made and reclaimed via expenses.
  If you are required to night out, you will receive a tax-free night out allowance of £25 per night.
  Whilst every effort will be made to ensure drivers can return to the depot at the end of their working days, it may not always be possible, and drivers should consider planning for those rare occasions they may need to night out by bringing some emergency supplies e.g. sleeping bag, toothbrush.
