Management of Occupational Road Risk
Programme Overview
Management of Occupational Road Risk must be a priority within the Health and Safety requirements of any company that maintains 5 or more vehicles.
Much needed legislation came into force in 2008 and 2009 which changed the way that Occupational Road Risk is looked upon by all companies running a fleet of 5 or more vehicles. This includes employees using their own vehicles to carry out company tasks (Grey Fleet vehicles).
- Anyone driving a vehicle as part of their daily tasks
- People wanting to improve their driving skills and therefore reduce their road risk
- Blue light vehicles, EMT, Coast Guard, Organ donation transportation, Doctor on call, Paramedic's,
- Drivers struggling to get back on the roads post incident (we specialise in nervous drivers)
Senior managers need to ensure that rigid Risk Assessments are carried out and an audit trail put in place as part of their Health and Safety at work strategy.
Courses and modules cover:
- Driver Risk Assessment for inclusion within your Health and Safety strategy
- In-car practical Driving Assessment with comprehensive report provided on each driver
- Presentations to enhance employee 'Driver Awareness and Hazard Perception'
- Practical in-car training to consolidate and improve employee driving skills
- A periodical and rolling assessment of drivers at specific times of year
- Maintenance of individual driving records
- An effective audit trail for your Management of Occupational Road Risk (MORR) strategy
- We specialise in Post Incident Anxiety Courses
Who should attend
Any employee who drives a company vehicle or their own vehicle whilst at work. Companies are ultimately accountable for their employees actions. That said, many neglect to provide driver development training for their employees whilst on the road. In the majority of cases an initial check of their driving license has been accepted as a testament to their ability to drive safely. The statistics show us that sadly this is not enough.
