The Off-Road Driving Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) provides a guide so safe practices are followed, minimising the risks of driving off-road.

It covers contact procedures, vehicle use, unrestrained objects, stock animals and wildlife, wildfires, crossing watercourses, driving in sand and tyre changing.

It also sets out vehicle recovery operations with a recovery strap or a winch, and an employee training and induction register to record who has been trained.
