Safety checklist: what to ask the operator for
Put these in the request so every operator quotes for them. Your school's board or education office may set more rules for tours.
Permit
Ask the operator for the vehicle's permit and check it covers every state on the route.
Fitness certificate and insurance
Ask for copies of both and check they are valid on the trip dates, not only on the booking date.
Speed governor
Ask the operator to confirm the vehicle has a working speed governor (speed limiting device).
Driver's licence and experience
Ask for the driver's name, licence and phone number before the trip, and for a second driver on long days.
Female attendant
When girls travel, ask the operator for a female attendant in each vehicle, in addition to the school's own staff.
First-aid kit and fire extinguisher
Ask the operator for a stocked first-aid kit and a working fire extinguisher in every vehicle.
GPS tracking
Ask whether the vehicle has GPS tracking the teacher in charge can follow.
A seat for every student
Book enough seats for every student and teacher: no standing, no extra passengers.
