## Driver checklist for night incidents

1) Check your personal safety. 2) Take photos of parcel and surroundings. 3) Record time and GPS. 4) Send brief report to dispatch with consignment number. 5) Log customer and sender contacts. 6) Wait for instructions and confirm actions.

## Frequently asked questions

How fast should I report an incident? Report immediately once the issue is safely documented. A first short message within 2–5 minutes helps dispatch decide.

What photos are required? Wide shot of parcel, close-up of damage, packaging condition and a location picture showing surroundings. Ensure barcodes remain readable.

Can I deliver a damaged parcel? Only if the recipient explicitly agrees and the damage is documented. Standard procedure: do not hand over and contact dispatch.

How do I log a refusal to sign? Record time, reason for refusal, recipient name if available and take a photo of the scene. Notify dispatch immediately.
