It’s a busy Thursday afternoon when you get a call from the receiving manager asking you to come to the office. A
delivery has just arrived and the unloading staff have advised him that the driver appears disoriented. The receiving
manager spoke to the driver and says he is clearly unwell, and wants your opinion as to the state the driver is in.
The load was delivered on time and unloading commenced as per the receiving schedule.
The receiving manager had the safety officer called to escort the driver across the site to the sick bay.
The driver is evasive when you question him about his schedule prior to this delivery, i.e. over the last 24 hours.
The driver tells you he wants to leave as soon as the truck is unloaded, because he has a back load to pick up. Unloading
is expected to be completed in a half an hour.
You check the driver’s paperwork. The delivery schedule is correct but you know by the state of the driver and his
evasiveness, that something is not right. You know the driver is badly fatigued, and you believe he is probably not fit to
drive.

It is necessary to understand that any of the non-compliance can create huge issue for the person
because lots of legal penalties can be imposed in that respective circumstances. There are different possible
non-compliance which can be seen if further permission can be given. It is said that Duty of care can be

Due diligence simply explains that in any of the situation those action must be taken so that person can simply

2. What are your responsibilities under CoR?

4. As part of your supervisory responsibility, you inspect the driver’s work diary (on the next page). For the purpose
of the simulation, imagine he has written in Thursday’s date in the date field.
What do you think of this diary entry? In your answer, explain what you are going to do after seeing this.
The diary entry will be the most important in this respective case because it is the only way through
