What does each car carry?
The equipment that matters when something goes wrong on the road, kept in every car on every route.
| Item | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| Fire extinguisher | To deal with a small fire before it spreads |
| Seat belts for every seat | Every passenger, front and back, can belt up |
| Spare tyre, jack and tools | A puncture is fixed at the roadside instead of ending the trip |
Who checks it?
The driver checks the car before each shift, and the regular service checks it again. Your safety team can inspect any car before a contract or during an audit.
See pre-shift checks, servicing and vendor audits.
Should staff wear seat belts in the back?
Yes. Every seat has a working belt, and companies can ask drivers to remind passengers to belt up before setting off, which is worth doing on long highway runs.
