There is no fixed time or frequency for vehicle cleaning as this is not a legal requirement. The 'drivers manual' states that vehicles should be cleaned as necessary, but drivers should always ensure that the windows and mirrors etc are clean and fit-for-purpose. As such no fixed time is expected to be built into driving duties for vehicle cleaning. Instead managers should adopt a pragmatic approach by ensuring that drivers perform this task on light traffic days in the spirit of flexibility.

Rest breaks at work

A worker is entitled to an uninterrupted break of 20 minutes when daily working time is more than six hours. It should be a break in working time and should not be taken either at the start, or at the end, of a working day.
