Driving for Better Business has launched a new range of free monthly resources for fleet managers to share with their drivers in order to improve road safety.
Driving for Better Business is a National Highways programme to help employers in the private and public sectors reduce work-related road risk, control the associated costs and improve compliance with current legislation and guidance.
The series starts with vehicle roadworthiness, to help managers, supervisors and everyone else involved to understand their responsibilities.
The guide covers creating a good practice vehicle roadworthiness policy; ensuring drivers are carrying out competent pre-use checks; making sure any issues are reported and recorded; and the legal responsibilities of both the driver and the operator.
To make the monthly guides easy to share with drivers, each topic includes posters that can be printed for noticeboards, and short reminders to be fed to in-cab messaging systems.
Topics covered by the monthly Fleet Focus guides include: weather conditions, including winter preparation; drug and drink driving; driver distraction; safe loading; mental health and well being.
All of the Guides sits in a library, allowing anyone to access a bank of resources at any time.
