Incident Prevention Checklist

What This Checklist Helps You Do

Use this checklist to quickly assess whether your fleet is:

• Monitoring driver behaviour consistently across all vehicles
• Identifying repeat risk patterns like speeding, harsh braking or distraction
• Managing speed compliance in restricted and changing environments
• Capturing and accessing evidence quickly after incidents
• Investigating events in a way that leads to real improvement
• Identifying situational risks such as yards, reversing or coupling
• Operating with connected systems instead of fragmented tools
• Turning data into action, not just reports

Why It Matters

Many fleets rely on reactive processes. An incident happens, a report is written and operations move on.

The problem is that risk continues to build in the background.

Without clear visibility and structured processes, it becomes difficult to:

• Spot trends early
• Prevent repeat incidents
• Demonstrate compliance
• Resolve disputes quickly

This checklist helps shift your approach from reactive to preventative by focusing on what actually drives fleet risk day to day.

What’s Inside

The checklist is structured around five key areas:

Behaviour Risk
Are you monitoring and improving how vehicles are actually being driven?

Speed Compliance
Are you preventing drift before it becomes a violation?

Situational Risk
Are high-impact risks identified and actively controlled?

Evidence & Investigation
Can you quickly access accurate data to understand what happened?

Systems & Structure
Are your tools connected, or creating blind spots?

Each section includes targeted questions to help you quickly identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.

Who's It For?

This checklist is ideal for:

• Fleet managers and operations teams
• Health & safety and compliance leads
• Transport, construction and municipal fleets
• Hire and rental operators
