Fleet Driver Training
Driving for work is probably one of the most dangerous aspects of a person’s working day. One in four serious road accidents in a week involve people who are driving for work. That’s 200 serious accidents in one week.
Under law it is an employer’s duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees and other people who might be affected by their business. Therefore ‘Safe Driving for Work’ or ‘Duty of Care whilst driving for work’ is an employers or the self-employed individual’s responsibility.
DRM offer several comprehensive packages to provide fleet driver training for your employees and the necessary policies and processes to fulfil your duty of care.
The DRM Fleet Driver packages include:
- Practical driving assessment
- Risk assessment
- Practical retraining
- Eco friendly and defensive driving presentations and practical training
- Business policy and practices training
- Training reports or certificates
- Fleet management
Does my business need this?
If you answer yes or don’t know to any of the following questions then your business will benefit from investing in fleet training and duty of care:
- When did you or your staff last have their driving assessed?
- Has anyone in your business been involved in a near miss, an accident or been injured and had to take time off work?
- Are the business vehicles in the garage and body shop more than you would expect?
Failure to put best policies and practices in place to ensure safety of your staff, yourself or the public could result in criminal charges as a result of Corporate Manslaughter laws.
Contact us today to find out how DRM can help you put those policies in place
