This manual has been compiled for the specific purpose of establishing a uniform code of practice and conduct for all users, drivers and operators of the NTIHC’s motorised fleet. The content is directed at promoting knowledge and understanding of the disciplines important to the Fleet Management Services activities, with the ultimate aim of attaining optimum productivity and cost effectiveness, and eliminating vehicle abuse.

Practical application of the guidelines, in conjunction with specific standing orders/policies/instructions issued by Fleet department, will prolong machinery service life and minimize vehicle accidents/losses caused through ignorance and/or negligence.

The Policy and Procedure document addresses most aspects of daily vehicle operations. It also includes information on the “professional” driving techniques necessary to develop “above average” competence. Generally, the various sections in the Policy and Procedure document will be used for courses of instruction presented by the Fleet Management Services. Future driver/operator performance standards will be measured in terms of knowledge and practical application of the subject matter.

All users of motorised equipment are required to comply with the contents of this document. Users must also strive to eliminate unnecessary expenses from the fleet maintenance bill. Responsible usage of the fleet, accepted and practised as a total concept, that is, eliminating vehicle abuse, will serve to produce benefits in terms of increased driver/operator safety and status, reduced stress in the working environment, improved public image and a reduced cost burden on the entity’s rate payers.

It is therefore imperative that User Unit and Office Managers effectively manage vehicle usage so as to attain the objectives of this Policy and Procedures document.
