Vehicle management is an essential task for the safe and efficient operation of company cars, sales vehicles, delivery vehicles, and more. The scope of management includes not only the vehicles themselves but also drivers, inspections and roll calls, daily reports, and compliance with laws and regulations. In this column, we will clearly explain the overall picture of vehicle management, including its definition, necessity, key tasks, and management methods.

The alcohol check sheet (record of alcohol breath test) is a document (or data) that records the results of alcohol breath tests conducted before and after driving, and is required to be kept for one year based on legal requirements. This column will outline the overview of the obligation for alcohol checks, the target businesses, examples of filling out the alcohol check sheet, how to create it in paper or Excel, and methods for managing it using cloud services. Even if a template is prepared, if the timing of implementation, handling of exceptions, and the method of verification by the checker remain ambiguous, it is likely to result in merely a formal operation. We will also explain the operational design necessary to prevent drunk driving, which can be explained in cases of audits, accident responses, or when requested to submit documents by authorities.
