Procedure and record for managing change safely: new routes, vehicles, customers, people or systems.
What it proves at audit
Heavy Vehicle Accreditation criteria this document produces evidence for. Check your readiness.
Why operators use it
We use this procedure to make sure a change is planned and checked as a safety decision before it becomes normal work, rather than discovering later that it weakened a critical control.
Transport risk does not remain static. A new customer, delivery expectation, vehicle, trailer, load, route, site, roster, subcontractor, system, person, legal requirement or technology can change the work system even when the written procedure has not changed. RISK-07 provides a practical gate: identify the change, assess what it affects, involve the right people, establish controls and resources, authorise go-live, then check whether it worked.
