DCC Vehicle Safety Checklist

This DCC Vehicle Safety Checklist supports monthly vehicle maintenance aligned with council policy. It guides drivers and fleet teams through internal checks like brakes, horn, mirrors, seat belts, windows, and windscreen; external lighting including headlights, fog lights, signals, and hazard lights; tyre condition and inflation; engine bay leak signs; and essential vehicle gear such as spare tyre or inflation kit, jack and wheel brace, fire extinguisher with current tag, first aid kit, accident information, and emergency response kit. It also covers fluid levels for oil, water, and washer fluid, tow bar security and condition, and a three monthly winch inspection covering fittings, strops, shackles, and wire rope. Use this template to standardize inspections, improve compliance, and maintain safer fleet operations.
