Quiz for employers

2 Question # 1 A vehicle is a workplace when it is being used for work-related purposes whether it is company-owned or employee-owned. True False

3 Question # 1 A vehicle is a workplace when it is being used for work-related purposes whether it is company-owned or employee-owned. True For BC employers governed by provincial occupational health and safety legislation, a vehicle is a workplace when it is used for work regardless of who owns the vehicle. Accordingly, workplace responsibilities described for employers, supervisors and employees in the Workers Compensation Act (WCA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (OHSR) apply.

4 Question # 2 The National Safety Code (NSC) applies only to vehicles with three or more axles. True False

5 Question # 2 The National Safety Code (NSC) applies only to vehicles with three or more axles. False The NSC applies to: commercial vehicles licensed with a gross vehicle weight of more than 5,000 kg. vehicles operating under the Passenger Transportation Act, or commercial vehicles that have a seating capacity of 10 or more passengers plus the driver.

6 Question # 3 Employees who use their own vehicles for work-related purposes are solely responsible for all vehicle safety matters. Their employer has no obligations or authority to be involved in safety because the employer does not own the vehicle. True False

7 Question # 3 Employees who use their own vehicles for work-related purposes are solely responsible for all vehicle safety matters. Their employer has no obligations or authority to be involved in safety because the employer does not own the vehicle. False Both owner and employer have responsibilities when an employee drives their own vehicle for work. Similar to company-owned vehicles, employers need to confirm that employee-owned vehicles used for work are regularly inspected and properly maintained, that the driver has the skills to safely complete assigned driving tasks and that they know and follow company safe driving procedures.

8 Question # 4 From the list below, identify key employer responsibilities described in the Workers Compensation Act. Check all that apply. a)Provide appropriate supervision for employees who drive for work. b)Make employees aware of hazards they are likely to encounter when they drive for work, both known and reasonably foreseeable. c)Make employees aware of their rights and duties under the WCA and the OHSR. d)Provide employees with information, instruction and training to ensure they can complete their work-related driving in a manner that keeps them and others safe. e)Establish occupational health and safety policies and programs in accordance with the regulations.

10 Question # 5 When you hire an employee into a role that includes driving, confirming that they have a valid and appropriate driver’s licence - such as a Class 1 or Class 5 - is enough. True False

11 Question # 5 When you hire an employee into a role that includes driving, confirming that they have a valid and appropriate driver’s licence - such as a Class 1 or Class 5 - is enough. False As an employer, you need to confirm the employee is qualified to undertake the driving their job requires. Confirming they have a valid driver’s licence is a great start. Checking (and periodically re-checking) they have a clean driver’s abstract is an easy second step. A more complete approach includes periodically assessing each driver’s skills and behaviours, and providing necessary instruction and training to fill in any competency gaps.
