Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Employees who use their own vehicle for work-related purposes are solely responsible for all safety matters. Their employer has no obligations or authority to be involved in safety because the employer does not own the vehicle.
Correct
As the vehicle owner, the employee must ensure the vehicle is operated and maintained consistent with requirements in the Motor Vehicle Act and its Regulations (and others if the vehicle is used for commercial purposes). However, the employer also has safety obligations under WorkSafeBC legislation. As is required for company-owned vehicles, employers need to confirm that employee-owned vehicles used for work are regularly inspected and properly maintained, and that the driver has the skills necessary to safely complete assigned driving tasks, and that the employee knows and follows company safe driving procedures.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
True or False? When you hire an employee for a job that requires driving, confirming that they have a valid appropriate driver’s licence (e.g. Class 1, Class 5, etc.) is enough.
Correct
As an employer, you need to confirm the employee is qualified to undertake the driving their job requires. Seeing 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.
