J. General Inspection Procedures.

*   *   *

17. Vehicles.

a) The employer shall ensure that each vehicle is maintained in a Serviceable condition and is inspected before initial use during a workshift. If a vehicle is not used during a workshift it does not need to be inspected. The employer may delegate the tasks of maintenance and inspection to the employee who uses the vehicle, but ultimately the employer remains responsible. There are different ways in which employers can accomplish their obligation of assuring that vehicles are maintained and inspected. For example, one method employers can use is informing employees of the maintenance and inspection procedures during training, reinforcing the requirements during regular safety and health meetings, and conducting spot checks of employees who use vehicles.
