How the work is done in fleets

The fleet lives on the road but gets hurt in the workshop: vehicle lifts, air receivers, brake springs and now the high voltage of the electric vehicle. Every vehicle that goes over the pit is a small lockout.

The jobs that set the pace

  • Preventive vehicle maintenance
  • Brakes and tyres
  • Vehicle diagnostics and electrics
  • Body shop and welding
  • Refuelling and washing

The facilities it comes with as standard

  • Vehicle workshop
  • Pits and vehicle lifts
  • Wash bay
  • On-site fuel pump
  • Depot
  • Spare parts store
  • Electric vehicle area
  • Loading dock

Lockout/tagout, with isolation point and verification

The dashboard does not ask “what energies does your equipment have?”: in the fleets profile they are already there, each one with where it is isolated and how you check that it is isolated. It is what an inspection asks to see in writing.

The high-risk procedures, written down

Five procedures specific to fleets, written in the vocabulary of the sector and available inside the dashboard so you can adapt them to your plant.

Vehicle on the lift

Correct jacking points and mechanical lock engaged: never the hydraulics alone.

Pneumatic brake circuit

Bleed the air receivers before opening and the manufacturer's tool is mandatory for the spring actuator.

Electric or hybrid vehicle

Service disconnect removed, discharge time observed and checked: high voltage trained personnel only.

Body shop welding

Tank and batteries protected, extinguisher to hand and disconnection beforehand.

Working under a vehicle at the roadside

Chocks, high-visibility vest and warning triangles: the hard shoulder is the worst possible workshop.

Equipment and reference regulations

Regulations that frame the work

  • RD 1215/1997 · work equipment

Current references the dashboard uses to organise the documentation. IndustriaKit is a documentation tool: it does not replace the risk assessment or legal advice.

Documentation specific to the sector
  • Fleet maintenance plan
  • Vehicle lift inspection records
  • ADR data sheets for the goods carried

What the dashboard does with all this

Contractors and coordination of activities

Contractors working on site join free, upload their documentation and the traffic light decides who can work. RD 171/2004 coordination with minutes and signature.

Permits with QR codes

Work permit with a printable notice: in the field it is scanned and signed from a phone. LOTO warning when the job calls for it.

Maintenance and OEE

Queue prioritised by criticality, statutory maintenance schedules with their date, counters based on real usage and an OEE panel per line with a Pareto of stoppages.

Personnel and training

Fitness for work, training and health surveillance by job role, with the medical data kept outside the dashboard by design.

Open it with the fleets profile and compare it with your folder
