Route Planning Risk Assessment Template
A route planning risk assessment for journeys where the route itself carries risk. It captures the route, vehicles and loads, then works through the hazards - permits, vulnerable road users, driver hours, height and width restrictions, accident and congestion hot-spots, charges and parking - and records the approved or amended route.
Managing driving for work includes planning journeys to reduce risk, and this is central to schemes such as FORS. This assessment gives you a structured way to plan and approve routes and supports the hazard identification and operational control requirements of ISO 45001.
Built for Driving for Work and ISO 45001
The assessment supports the risk assessment and operational control requirements of ISO 45001 (clauses 6.1.2 and 8.1):
- The route, waypoints, destination, vehicles and loads recorded
- Route hazards worked through - permits, vulnerable road users, driver hours, restrictions, hot-spots, tolls and parking
- Driver feedback and route approval captured
- A variation section for proposing and approving an alternative route
What's Included in this Route Planning Assessment
The form runs from route overview to approval and variation:
- Overview - completed by, date, the route, the vehicles and loads and any specific hazards
- Route hazard checks - each factor with Yes / No and details
- Summary and approval - additional comments, driver feedback and route approved by / date
- Variation - proposed alternative route, new hazards and variation approval
Who Needs a Route Planning Assessment?
Any organisation running goods or passenger journeys where the route matters - hauliers, distribution, plant movement and abnormal loads, and FORS-accredited operators. It supports any business working towards or maintaining ISO 45001 certification.
