  • 1.  Transport Van Safety and Training

    Posted 05-28-2024 03:16 PM

    Hello,

    We recently purchased a van for transporting dogs and cats to spay and neuter appointments. Volunteers and staff will be driving the van.

    I am looking for safety protocols for volunteers, checkoff sheets, training etc.

    Does anyone have this information that you would share with me?

    Thanks so much!

    We also have a transport sprinter van that we use mainly for big events. As far as a check out, we don't have a need for that because ours is always planned in advance with who is taking it when/where/for what event.

    We just take a copy of the license/registration of anyone who will be driving the van, and they have to be 18+. I would also just remind whoever is driving it that they are a representative of your organization and to be cautious/obey all traffic laws, especially if your van is wrapped/branded you want to have a responsible image while out in your community.

    Make sure everyone knows who the go-to person is that's responsible for maintenance of the van as well in case it needs gas, tire checks, etc.
