The vehicles that a worker operates need to be properly maintained and inspected over the course of the life of the vehicle.  Many serious accidents will occur for workers as they are operating or riding in a company vehicle.  If the vehicle has a fault or problem,  this can cause a serious accident while on the road.

Regularly scheduled maintenance will be important to help maintain safety.  Verification that the employee can actually drive the vehicle is important as well.
