FleetAudit
FleetAudit is a comprehensive survey of your organisation's preparedness to manage occupational road risk, from a health & safety, duty of care and risk management perspective. It is conducted by an experienced driver risk consultant and analyses the following key areas:
- Driver: e.g. recruitment, fitness to drive, risk assessment, training and monitoring
- Vehicle: e.g. selection, maintenance and security
- Journey: e.g. planning and energy management
- Policy: e.g. duty-of-care compliance, documentation
The resulting report details exactly where your organisation is today in managing driver risk and what areas it needs to address.
FleetAudit is an ideal starting point for your organisation if you are looking for an independent status evaluation and driver-risk roadmap. The recommended actions focus on any company policy gaps, driver assessment, fitness to drive, training, monitoring and awards to ensure you stay compliant with legislation, manage occupational road risk effectively and helps employers achieve a measureable return on their often substantial investment in fleet and drivers.
