Driver's Handbook UK & ROI 2020

Mobile phones It is a criminal offence to use a handheld mobile phone or similar device whilst in control of a vehicle. Euro Car Parts policy extends to the use of hands-free devices in line with industry best practice. All van drivers are employees who drive full time for a profession. It is the company policy that there is no need for a van driver to ever make or receive calls or data for their job. All communications can happen when back at branch. Vans therefore may have Bluetooth removed and the vans may not be fitted with hands free equipment. If the van has the equipment to receive hands free calls – no calls should be made or received. It is however OK for a driver to carry a personal phone for emergency purposes only, but it should always be turned off whilst driving. This policy will be strictly applied, and any exception will be a disciplinary matter.

Smoking It is company policy that you cannot smoke in any Euro Car Parts vehicle – this includes e-cigarettes.

Fuel A fuel card may only be used for the intended vehicle. You must use the correct fuel for the vehicle and provide the vehicle registration and current mileage. Theft of fuel is considered gross misconduct and will result in disciplinary action being considered.
