Speciific Document Request

[Dumpys Rusty Nuts]

Does anyone know if Royal Mail has any specific rulings regarding policy on the allocation of van keys and the issue of returning the spare van keys when doing park and loop.

[DGP1]

Each person should have a key but only the driver drives (unless the other person does the van checks and logs it in the book as being the driver), sign the keys out, leave the keys back when the duty is finished.

It has in it this section.

Key Holders
Shared van working will work best if both employees sharing the vehicle have key access to the mail compartment so as to minimize waiting time at the van.

Key control processes therefore need to be communicated to employees, and managed, more effectively than ever before.

All sets of vehicle keys must be signed for, i.e.: where two sets of keys are used on a shared van duty then both OPGs must sign separately for each set. The person signing for keys will be considered responsible for their security until responsibility is transferred and details have been recorded on the local office key control record.

Managers must periodically confirm availability of all sets of keys issued for any shared vehicle under their control. Checks should be carried out at the same time as licence checks are conducted (whether the subsequent key holder has a driving licence or not).

When not in use, all vehicle keys must be kept on the person at all times - they must never be left in the vehicle or in any delivery trolley or delivery pouch.

So what happens as in my office the driver is allowed to take the van home?

[martin the green]

vans are taken home in our office as well, not enough room in the yard

[DGP1]

If the van is taken home then there is another set of rules for that. http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 15#p294718" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
