The movement of light and heavy vehicles within any company boundary must always be a factor of concern, especially in relation to compliance with the company’s internal safety standards and also in relation to the interaction with pedestrians. In addition to the company’s vehicles, which usually have a more rigorous control, including the training of the drivers, another point of great relevance are the vehicles of third parties that enter the company, which often are not in the best maintenance conditions and may be conducted by unqualified personnel, which endangers pedestrians who may interact with such vehicles.
