Journey management involves preparing your mind, your body, your vehicle, and your load. Planning for safe journeys requires setting in place procedures, and protocols to follow them. The weather, road conditions and other road users’ behaviours are not in your control, but you can learn how to better respond to them.

This package contains:

  • A generic overview of Toolbox Talk Discussion and how it can be applied to work driving safety, including a step by step process to assist team leaders/managers and facilitators to lead a Toolbox Talk discussion.

  • Aid for the promotion of discussion

  • Topic background information and fact sheets

  • Discussion prompt sheet

  • Participant attendance record sheet

  • Participant self-assessment sheet

  • Discussion review sheet

  • Journey Management posters

  • Supporting PowerPoint Slides

  • Journey Management Video Link (access video here or contact NRSPP to download)
