A ‘RIGGED’ VEHICLE

A vehicle is said to be ‘rigged’ when it has been the subject of a determined and malicious attempt to inflict serious, and potentially fatal, injury to anyone attempting to move it. This is a hazard known to be prevalent in parts of the country where autocrime is particularly prolific. The vehicles likely to put Recovery Operatives particularly at risk are:

Stolen vehicles
Abandoned vehicles
Other vehicles used in the commission of crime

The known dangerous practices include:

Razor blades super-glued to the underside of flush door handles
Hypodermic needles reversed and inserted into the fabric of seats
Inner tyre walls incised with a case-knife
Interference with brake and / or steering components

Roadside Safety

~~~~~ Using NEW Life on the Edge 6 Video ~~~~~

Roadside Safety - one day course

Aims

During this session you will be shown:
The importance of the Risk Assessment.
Risk levels
How to reduce risk

Introduction

Risk assessment is something we all do, all the time – most of us without realising it. This programme looks at risk assessment as a systematic process. The video is packed with examples of best practice – as you watch the video, use the points raised in this leaflet as a guide to identifying the hazards, consider the options, remember “it’s your call”. We also clearly identify some of the bad practices you might slip into, complacency must always be avoided, just because you know what you are doing is no guarantee that other road users will also understand. Risk assessment is difficult when situations can change from moment to moment. What seems like routine one minute – can suddenly be very different.

HAZARDS --- CONSEQUENCES ----- AVOIDANCE

Look out for the hazards, work out what the consequences could be, and take steps to avoid them.

I.E. YOU ASSESS ALL THE HAZARDS, AND EACH HAZARD HAS MORE THAN ONE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCE

General Notes

Always carry out a risk assessment
All technicians should be aware of legal requirements
All technicians should be aware of the ever present danger to themselves and other road users when attending the scene of an assistance call.
Wear your Personal Protective Equipment. (PPE)
Never exceed the Safe Working Load (SWL) or Working Load Limit (WLL) of your equipment.

If it’s quicker to repair than recover – Repair it

If it’s quicker to recover than repair – Recover it

Think of Your SAFETY First

Your safety, the Customer’s and Others

DO YOUR RISK ASSESSMENT

HAZARDS -- CONSEQUENCES -- AVOIDANCE

You’re the person who’s on the spot,

****** IT’S YOUR CALL ******

Controllers Course

Controllers Course Questionnaire

Please help us to help you and your business.

We are in the process of putting together a course for Controllers and are aware that a basic course, which was first suggested, would not meet all the needs of those of you who have Controller(s) requiring further training.

Whilst we still intend to run the basic course, we are also developing an Advanced Skill Building course. For this course, we have decided to split the job of Controller into modules, with the intention of you choosing which module(s) best suits the training needs of your Controller(s).

Listed below are the modules available. Please state, which will be most beneficial for your controller(s).

· Garage Manager
· Turbo Dispatch
· Vtrak
· Turbo Track
· Customer Care
· Mechanical Awareness
· Job Taking
· Dispatching
· Back loads
· Geography
· Invoicing
· Claiming/Adjustments (Clubs)
· Phonetics/Abbreviations
· Recovery Vehicles & Equipment
· Sub-contracting

If there are any other areas you feel would be useful please contact us.
