SCOPE
Applies to all heavy vehicle and regular light vehicle road journeys in the conduct of BP
business on public roads in high-risk geographies.
A list of countries identified as high-risk geographies, based on the World Health Organization
(WHO) road fatality data, WHO mortality data and per capita gross national incomes, can be
found in the Driving Standard. This list is subject to regular review and update as the risk profile
changes.
REQUIREMENTS
Road journeys should only be undertaken where deemed necessary for the achievement of
business objectives and after any safer journey options have been excluded (e.g. air, rail,
teleconference).
Business Segments, Functions and Regions should follow the requirements described in the
Road Safety Risk Assessment Toolkit in developing the Journey Risk Management Plans
(JRMPs), which will include documenting the identified risk factors and corresponding
mitigating measures on particular routes.
Business Segments, Functions and Regions should agree and consistently apply Journey
Risk Management Plans across similar environments in the same geography.
A process should be in place to recognize temporary hazards and inform drivers on a timely
basis, or to review the appropriateness of the route.
On controlled sites, driving safety rules and regulations should be in place and enforced.
Questioning whether any journey is required at all by examining work practices, e.g.
determining whether phone or video conferencing can be used in place of a face-to-face
meeting.

All vehicles will be fit for purpose and have been inspected using an appropriate
checklist before the journey begins
Drivers will have been properly trained and advised of the contents of the JRMP for the
journey they are about to undertake, and completed JRMP's will be readily accessible to
drivers at the point of departure.
Drivers will be rested and alert (not suffering from tiredness or fatigue) prior to the
journey commencing.
While each Business Segment, Function and Region is responsible for ensuring JRMPs are
available for its area of accountability and communicated to staff, they should agree and
consistently apply plans where they operate in the same areas within a high-risk country.
GETTING STARTED
The following is a recommended way forward in developing and managing a Journey Risk
Management Plan for a country.
Step 1: Identify an owner (JRMP Coordinator) who will take accountability on behalf of
the businesses and functions in the country to lead the development, and ongoing
review and updating of the JRMP as required. The JRMP coordinator needs to identify
and work with all businesses and functions in the country to ensure alignment with the
JRMP and consistency in its implementation and application.
Step 2: Consider using a workshop as a catalyst to bring businesses together to share
understanding and to agree a way forward. This may include a Road/Driving Risk
Assessment. The attached toolkit provides a recommended workshop approach and
methodology for conducting a road safety risk assessment. The rationale for this
approach is that journey risk management planning starts with having an overall
appreciation of the road/driving tasks that are undertaken by the organization in the
conduct of BP. In this context there may be a need to consider road travel which is not
strictly BP work related, for instance, expatriate employee travel outside of business
hours.

NIGHT DRIVING
Night driving will only be undertaken in high-risk countries where management have assessed
and mitigated local night driving risks. Night driving risk assessments should include
consideration of historic Company and Government accident data, and be agreed and
consistently applied by all parts of the Group operating within the country. An example of the
BP Pakistan Night Driving Policy is included as an example.

JRMPs for Medium and Low Risk Routes and short non routine journeys
Generic JRMPs may be completed for these types of journeys. While all of the risk factors
shown in the table and any others identified in the operating environment will be considered,
these JRMPs will focus on the risks associated with travel in the area and be incorporated in
local driver training programs. A format that could be used for a generic JRMP, which was
developed in Papua New Guinea, and a Short Journey Risk Awareness document and an
engagement tool used by Castrol, are shown in the document Examples of Journey Risk
Management Plans.
Review Period
Each Business Segment, Function and Region should review and revise their JRMPs as
necessary as dictated by changes to risk factors, or at maximum intervals of three years.
