With Hubfleet's Fit for Duty check you can:

• Configure up to 5 pre-shift fitness questions for your drivers
• Capture an accept / decline response — plus a reason on any decline — on the mobile app
• Automatically block a driver from starting a shift if they decline any question
• Notify the Safety Manager by email whenever a driver declines
• Keep a complete response history for compliance checking and reporting </aside>

Fit for Duty in Hubfleet is the pre-shift fitness check every driver completes before starting work. The record keeper configures up to 5 questions (e.g. "I have had at least 7 hours' sleep", "I am free from any condition that could impair my driving"). Drivers respond on the mobile app — accept or decline each question — and any decline both blocks the shift start and alerts the Safety Manager by email.

Coming later: risk-based Fit for Duty. We're building a richer version that ties checks to specific Risk Controls, supports role-based check sets, supervisor-conducted checks, and periodic medical evidence. This article covers what ships today.

How Fit for Duty fits into your SMS

Fit for Duty sits on the preventive side of the bow-tie. Risk Controls define what the operation needs people to do safely; Fit for Duty confirms each driver is in a fit state to do it on the day. It's the last attestation between configuration (controls, training, P&Ps) and operation (the shift itself).

Prerequisites

• Safety Manager or Admin permissions
• A Safety Manager email address registered in Hubfleet to receive decline notifications
• Drivers set up with mobile app access

3. Review responses — Safety Manager gets an email on every decline, and the full response history is available for compliance reporting (Section C)
