Driving at work is one of the largest unmanaged risks in the UK with over 1,000 driving at work deaths per year and 250,000 serious injuries. Companies and individual directors can face prosecution if they don’t have sufficient defence including a risk assessment plan and the Health and Safety Executive requires that companies manage their road risks and have issued full guidelines in this area.
Helping you to reduce your incident rates
Incidents can cost businesses a huge amount of money in repair bills, higher insurance premiums and lost working time. At this moment most organisations are seeing a rapid rise in the cost of third party and insurance claims. To help you manage the risks and the associated costs we have combined our extensive experience in legal, health and safety, fleet and risk knowledge to create the only road risk on-line solution to help you reduce your incident rates.
Understanding all your road risks
The law covers driving at work regardless of the ownership of the vehicle and a common misconception is that drivers using their own cars on company business are not considered to be part of this risk. This on-line solution evaluates all employees, so that all the risks are identified and include the ‘grey fleet’, which means employees driving their own cars on business (for example driving to a training course or visiting a client).
Providing you with a comprehensive solution
The key for companies is to fully understand the problem at company and employee level and then filter people to the most effective solutions rather than applying the same solution to every employee. By using this on-line solution there is a full training needs analysis of each employees risks. From this you will have identified all the people in the organisation who are at risk by conducting a simple survey and managing all the risks via the solution. This saves money as it tells you what employee’s require and where you need to allocate your budget. A lot of the solutions are free - for example updating a policy from our reference library and sending it from the system to each employee. It then tracks who has read the document and provides a full audit trail.
