Who’s guilty? The Driver or the Employer? – Driving for Better Business
The video recordings from the Driver Safety Theatre sessions at the recent Health and Safety Event at NEC, Birmingham are now available.
They include the mock trial we ran at the event – and the feedback has been excellent.
Who’s guilty? The Driver or the Employer?
Click here to access the videos, including the recording of our mock trial. It’s an eye-opening and sobering watch.
The trial covers some very common examples of poor driver safety management.
The prosecution looks at how these factors align and result in a serious incident involving a cyclist – but was it the driver’s fault or that of the employer?
In the mock trial session we examine what went wrong, why it went wrong, and what the subsequent investigation and prosecution could look like.
More importantly, we look at what you and your organisation should be doing to avoid a similar scenario happening to you.
How’s your fleet confidence?
Take the challenge
This month’s podcast in the Let’s Talk Fleet Risk series features Peter Golding of FleetCheck talking about the Fleet Confidence Challenge – and why most SMEs who run vans in their businesses need to take the challenge to establish where their risks really are.
“We wanted to build something really designed for the small to medium sized fleet operator. We focus on the commercial vehicle fleet – so we look at the van and truck side, but especially the van side because it’s the area that is most often ignored…”
Many Fleet Managers aren’t aware that they may not be doing everything that is legally required – meaning there is the potential for prosecution in the event of an accident.
The Fleet Confidence Challenge is a short, free course is designed to help you understand your duty of care, know your 10 most important fleet tasks and help you create a legally compliant “Driving for Work” policy.
In just a few hours, the Fleet Confidence Challenge will cover all the key things your role requires in terms of managing drivers and their vehicles.
Each module consists of video training modules and downloadable copyright-free resources to help you fully understand the role and nail the key responsibilities.
