What is an adverse weather driving record?
An adverse weather driving record is a record used in KnowFleet that records the decision to run, delay or cancel journeys in adverse weather, and who made it. It is built against ISO 39001 cl.8.1 and forms part of the Cold Chain and Transport programme.
When is an adverse weather driving record completed?
An adverse weather driving record is completed at the moment the event happens, rather than reconstructed afterwards. Raised when conditions deteriorate.
When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Cold Chain and Transport programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links journey assessment, hours of service
Not for
- Journey Risk Assessment, which assesses a planned journey for route, weather, hours, load and delivery point hazards.
- Delivery Point Assessment, which assesses a customer or supplier site for access, reversing, unloading and driver welfare.
- Reversing and Manoeuvring Assessment, which assesses reversing at each regular location, and whether it can be designed out.
- Anything outside KnowFleet, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
