Workers are only allowed to drive on public roads for work if they hold a valid driving licence recognised by Traffic Police, and are employed in one of the following driving-related occupations:

  • Worker-cum-Driver
  • Lorry Driver
  • Trailer-truck Driver

In general, you should not deploy your workers to occupations other than the one specified on the Work Permit.
