When one of your staff makes a mistake, do you turn a blind eye or is it the case that you've had enough and wild horses won't stop you from disciplining them? Everyone makes mistakes, but in the transport sector a small mistake can lead to large repercussions, so proportionality is really key. This week the team discussed:

• handling minor infringements made by staff;
• drugs and alcohol testing;
• transport consultants - witness or representative?
• examining the importance of authorised fleet size v actual vehicles in the goods and passenger sector.
