Learn journey management planning through three steps—prepare, execute, and close—and apply risk-based plans for professional and non-professional drivers in high and low risk contexts.
Develop a journey management plan by answering key safety questions on trip necessity, vehicle and driver fitness, risks, routes, rest breaks, and emergency readiness to ensure a safe journey.
Prepare a safety-focused journey plan that prioritizes driver fatigue management, rest, fatigue awareness training, supervisor oversight, and regular rest breaks with route and weather assessments.
Execute the trip by following the planned route, performing pre-departure safety checks (tires, lights, load securement, seat belts), managing fatigue with breaks, and adhering to life-saving journey rules.
Close the plan guides recording journey outcomes, capturing lessons learned to update future journey management plans, and applying a three-step process—before, during, and after the trip—to improve safety.
Journey Management is a flexible and dynamic set of concepts that can be used as a tool to make road journeys safer for everyone in your company. It incorporates written policies and a standardized journey planning process to promote and enhance driver safety.
A journey management program is usually comprised of policies and procedures that generally outlines safety guidelines and establish organisational roles and responsibilities, a standardised journey planning process that is to be followed before, during, and after all trips. The outcome is a carefully planned journey that ensures safety.
By implementing a program that incorporates journey management, significant reductions in driving-related incidents can be achieved, which in turn reduces the probability of property damage, injury, and loss of life.
This course is designed to provide delegates with the information and tools required to build or enhance their own journey management program.
