When you take on a new member of staff, and that individual is going to be driving a vehicle on the road on behalf of your company, whether it be his or her own vehicle or one that is supplied by you, how do you know what sort of liability that person represents in terms of risk? The answer to that is you don’t know at all, because until you have subjected that person to a dynamic risk assessment he or she could actually end up costing you a great deal of money, as well as embarrassment.
Fleet Driver Risk Assessments & Driver Training Courses
At Ride Drive, we know how important it is to complete an effective risk assessment programme to make sure that company vehicle fleet drivers are properly equipped to perform their role. Through proper assessment, and then targeted driver training where necessary, you can save a lot of time and money that can otherwise be wasted through senseless and preventable accidents, not to mention the grief that has to be tolerated if the Health and Safety Executive gets involved. That is why is makes sense for you to have all your company vehicle fleet drivers properly and expertly assessed so that you know exactly what kind of risk you may carrying on your vehicle driving team. Like many organisations are doing these days, you could make a driving skills assessment part of the job interview process. How’s that for a great idea?
The half-day assessment can also be used to re-assess a member of staff; perhaps if their circumstances have changed, such as where there has been a complaint about their manner of driving, or perhaps they have been involved in a traffic accident. Whatever the purpose to which you apply this option, you can be confident that you will have made a really sound choice to safeguard your employees and your business.
