You should always exercise good business judgement while offering delivery services to ensure your safety and those of other Canadian residents!
Identifying hazards is your best defence against being involved in an accident. The “Take 5” Method can be useful during your day-to-day deliveries on the Skip Network.
What steps can you take to spot a hazard?
It’s important that you are always aware of your surroundings and potential hazards that may pose a risk to your health and safety. A great way of doing this is to go through a quick hazard assessment of any tasks that you have either not done before, or are doing under different conditions. An example of such a hazard may be that you are delivering in rainy conditions, or you are delivering to a customer who may have pets loose at the delivery address.
