14
The first thing an LMD vacuum excavator Driver does in the morning is inserts their Tachograph Card into the Tachograph unit.
A Tachograph stores all the relevant driver data required by law.
After inserting the Tacho Card, the vac ex Driver does a ‘walk round’.
This requires the Driver to walk round the vac ex to check it and make sure external features
– such as lights, cameras and sensors – are working.
Drive to the site!
After parking up, the Driver signs into the site and completes any site inductions.
Once the inductions are completed, the Driver undertakes additional safety checks to ensure the vac ex is running smoothly and safely.
The Driver talks to the Site Manager about the work to be completed. This information is critical to the Driver being able to complete the job to the customer’s satisfaction.
