52 Toolbox Talks for HGV and Van Drivers, UK Transport Manager Driver Training, Sign-Off Sheets, Register, Word, PDF, Excel

Seller's description

A year of toolbox talks for your drivers: one short talk a week, each on a single page, with a sign-off sheet after every talk and an Excel register that shows who has missed what.

Written for UK transport managers, operators and supervisors who brief HGV and van drivers. Every talk follows the same layout, so it's quick to deliver in 10 to 15 minutes.

EVERY TALK HAS
✔ Why it matters - a short, real reason drivers will remember
✔ Five key points in plain English
✔ The rule, with its official source (GOV.UK, the Highway Code, DVSA or HSE) and the link
✔ Three discussion questions about your own drivers' jobs
✔ Its own sign-off sheet: date, presenter/TM, driver name, licence number (optional) and signature

52 TOPICS, INCLUDING
Walkaround checks • defect reporting • tyres and tyre age • wheel security • load security • weights • drivers' hours (driving limits, breaks and rest, GB domestic rules) • tachograph cards, manual entries and downloads • working time • fatigue • mobile phones • speed limits • smart motorways • bridge strikes • vulnerable road users • blind spots • left turns • reversing • coupling and uncoupling • fuel spills • ADR basics • winter, fog, wind and heat • collisions and reporting • roadside checks • licences, health and eyesight • Driver CPC • drink and drugs • loading, falls, manual handling, tail-lifts and PPE • route planning • following distances • level crossings • vehicle security • electric vehicles • and why compliance protects the operator licence

THE REGISTER (Excel and Google Sheets)
✔ Planned dates for all 52 talks from your start date
✔ Type the date each driver signed - green for signed, red for missed
✔ New starters and leavers handled: each driver only needs the talks given while they worked for you
✔ Dashboard: talks delivered and overdue, the next talk, drivers up to date and catch-ups needed

WHY IT HELPS
Operator licence undertakings, DVSA and traffic commissioners expect drivers to be trained in things like walkaround checks, defect reporting and drivers' hours, and the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 requires employers to give the information, instruction and training needed. A signed record of each talk is your evidence that it happened.

PLEASE NOTE
• This is training material and a record-keeping tool, not legal advice. Facts were checked against GOV.UK, the Highway Code and HSE guidance in October 2026. Rules change, so check the source links before you deliver a talk.
• The register holds drivers' names, so keep it secure.
• This is an instant digital download, so returns aren't accepted. If anything isn't working, message me and I'll help.

The third image, after the video, is a plain page from the pack exactly as it prints.
