Fleet and Corporate

As an employer you will be well aware that you have a responsibility to conduct H&S Risk Assessments for your employees.

However, did you know you should be including all your company drivers in these Risk Assessments - Directors, Managers, Sales, Customer Service and Delivery Drivers?

Below are just a few of the reasons you might want to consider adding Work Related Road Safety Assessment & Training into your Health & Safety Policy.

Health & Safety at Work Act 1974:

It shall be the duty of every employer to ensure, so far as it is reasonable and practicable, the Health, Safety and Welfare at work of all their employees.

The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999:

A duty is now placed upon the employer to assess and manage risks to ALL their employees and other arising from work activities. Employers must also make arrangements to ensure H&S of the workplace including making arrangements for emergencies, adequate information and training for employees.

Corporate Manslaughter & Corporate Homicide Act 2007: 

The Act sets out the new offences for convicting an organisation (and the individuals within that organisation) when a gross failure in the way activities were managed or organized results in a person death or serious injury.

All of our trainers are DSA Approved and are able to provide full Risk Assessment and Training to suit your requirements.

Our recommended assessment schedule is as follows:

Theory Session: 

Half day classroom session with interactive presentations (optional)

Practical Session: 

30 minute Assessment with written report, 
60 minute Remedial coaching session, 
30 minute Final assessment with detailed written report and further training recommendations.

During the practical sessions we shall be emphasising to your drivers how and where they can adopt an Eco Safe Driving Style, a good Eco Safe Driving Style can result in as much as 8-15% fuel savings. Provided your drivers follow these guidelines the Risk Assessment and Training will pay for itself in the reduction in fuel costs.

Additionally you should be able to secure significant savings in your company insurance premiums by:
* Demonstrating that all your drivers have received professional training and are being monitored regularly,
* Increasing the excess payable on your insurance and making the driver liable for this (the excess is after all only payable when your driver is at fault)
