Wolt in partnership with LEADING HR LTD, an accredited risk management company has compiled a list of essential tips on driving behavior, safety and preventing measures regarding COVID 19 pandemic.
Please take some time to read through the material. Always put your safety first!
Practice safe driving techniques: Monitor blind spots, travel at safe speeds and reduce speed in work zones, keep up with regular vehicle maintenance, adjust driving techniques in bad weather, load cargo safely and reduce speeds on curves to prevent your vehicle and top box from tipping over.
Know your territory: Be familiar with the delivery area and your route and be extra cautious when you drive in areas you haven't visited before. Avoid muscle strain: Use material handling equipment such as a hard box or cargo box to move heavier items from the vehicle to the delivery site. Lift with your legs, not your back.
Watch your step: Look out for slip, trip and fall hazards when delivering the goods.
Limit cash: Restrict the amount of money that you carry on yourself by doing cash offloads frequently.
Conceal cash: Keep any money hidden from sight.
Park close: Park as close to the delivery site as possible; always try to park near the delivery door except if there are certain rules that prevent you to do so.
Be aware of your surroundings: Take note of any vehicles that may be following you.
Only deliver to valid addresses: Make sure that you are not delivering to an unoccupied home or business. Signs of vacancy may include an unkempt yard and no lights. If lights are off, ask support for guidance.
Be cautious when you deliver to hotel rooms: When you deliver food to a hotel or motel room, always read the notes of the customer.
Stay in well-lit areas: Park under a street light or in a well lit area, if possible.
Carry a flashlight: Keep a flashlight in your courier bag or pocket in case you have to walk to a side door or back of a building.
