Objectives
Realistic corporate objectives for any ‘Occupational Road Risk’ management programme would be as follows: -
- Compliance with legal requirements
- Improvement in employee welfare
- Increased productivity
- Reduced costs
Action Required
Recognising the reality of driving risk is the first, most important step in addressing this issue, however, having made this step change in theory, many businesses struggle to deal with the practicalities of addressing this.
Effective risk management is not just about ‘ticking boxes’ although no-one can deny the consequences of not meeting your legal obligations. On the other hand it is not about mollycoddling drivers at all costs either, yet there are many companies in the market who build up the individual parts of the solution components, such as driver training, where much money can be spent, without material benefit for the business.
Without denying the importance of these components as part of the overall solution, a structured and sequential approach to ‘Occupational Road Risk’ is what is required in order to provide robust, long term, risk management.
Fleetworx initiate this with a risk assessment, which will qualify the areas of risk to which individuals and the company are exposed and quantify this risk too. This is an essential part of determining a strategy and forming an action plan.
