An excerpt from ISNetworld® RAVS®* Safety plan Journey Management Program
… The JMP is held/ filed by the RSO. Replace with Company Name may use from time to time, a journey manager who is typically a Dispatcher or applicable supervisor who reviews/ approves/ logs/ files/ and monitors the Journey Management Plan. Prior to executing the journey, the driver needs to be fully briefed on the journey and the associated risks and mitigating measures as documented in the Journey Management Program checklist (see below). The JMP file must be kept and be available for periodic review for up to two years.
Our Journey Management Plan contains the following criteria:
Planning of the journey - the aspects of planning the journey must include:
Weather/ Environmental Conditions. Before leaving on a trip, ensure that weather conditions are safe for driving. Ensure the vehicle being used is adequate for the weather conditions. Make sure emergency supplies are in the vehicle, and the driver has a cell phone for emergencies. In particularly harsh conditions, consider canceling or rescheduling the trip. [4]
If and when to drive and specify that no one day of driving exceeds 10 hours. Contractors operating under DOT rules may be exempt due to the mitigating actions provided by laws and documentation requirements under DOT operating rules
What route to take. Before taking a trip to an unfamiliar location ensure that you have printed driving directions available. Do not plan to read directions from a smartphone while driving. A GPS device may be used, but printed directions should be kept as a back-up. [5]
Where to make rest stops (rest every 4.5 hours and drive no more than 10 hours per day) When driving long distances, sufficient breaks should be taken to prevent fatigue. When driving alone and having trouble staying awake, pull off the road and get out of the vehicle for fresh air, or take a short nap. If driving late at night, consider getting a hotel room and starting fresh the next day. If two licensed drivers are in the vehicle, take turns driving. Get plenty of rest before beginning your journey. [8]
Driving should be done during daylight hours rather than after dark whenever possible. Reduce speed when driving at night. Be aware of the potential for wildlife to be on the road, especially when driving at dusk or dawn. [3] ....
