Confirm hours and fitness before dispatch
What fitness declaration and selected hours record are available before dispatch?
The assigned team member works from declaration and policy. The record makes fit to drive yes/no and hours in last 24 h and 7/8 days (from the eld when connected) clear to the next person.
WORKED DECISION
Identify hours that need clarification
| Decision point | Information to use | Responsible next step |

- 02

What we prepare togetherThe method names who contributes, reviews and receives the next work.

Walk through the selected route
Walk through these conditional steps: “Decide an exception within the rules”.
What we prepare togetherYour team sees the response and the resulting next step before extending the method.

Your questions
Prepare the method for your team
What stays with the recorded response?
The response for this occurrence retains fit to drive yes/no, hours in last 24 h and 7/8 days (from the eld when connected), rest and vehicle. It belongs to the work being reviewed, rather than replacing a different occurrence's record.
Which materials do we need to bring?
Bring declaration and policy. We use those choices to prepare the working context, then check that each task opens the material it needs.
How do the conditional steps become part of the method?
The conditional route is used when hours are near a limit, the hours record is missing or stale, or fitness is flagged. Select the variant or respond to the recorded condition before treating that step as required.
What is the outcome for the wider workflow?
Declaration on record; exceptions decided within the rules before dispatch; an unfit driver held.
