Why operators use it

We use PRIME-07 to make sure a driver who will work within an approved provider scope receives accessible, two-way and task-relevant information about the actual customer/site/delivery work, can raise safety concerns and is released only under conditions suitable for that specific work.

A provider safe-entry decision does not tell us whether each driver knows the actual customer/site/delivery conditions. A driver may have experience but still be unfamiliar with a delivery route, residential address interface, business loading area, reversing arrangement, people/pedestrian controls, access process, vehicle/load condition, escalation contact or customer instruction. PRIME-07 closes that interface gap.
