This on-route audit template helps waste collection teams assess safety and compliance during daily operations. It covers driver and helper details, PPE, manual handling, bin lift training, and good road safety practice. Inspect vehicle roadworthiness and cab cleanliness, verify CVRT haulage certificate, insurance and tax discs, and confirm safety features are not overridden. Check adherence to safe systems of work, minimize reversing and use single-side collection where possible. Ensure bins are positioned correctly, lifts are operated safely, staff maintain three points of contact, and any spillage is cleaned promptly.
