AccuFleet Driver Training & Road Risk Assessments - The Reality
One in every three road crashes involve a vehicle being driven for work. That’s 3 deaths EVERY DAY invoving company vehicles.- Work-related road accidents are the biggest cause of work-related accidental death. Between 800 and 1000 people are killed annually in work-related road traffic accidents compared to approximately 250 fatalities due to other accidents.
- Company drivers who drive more than 80% of their annual mileage on work related journeys have more than 50% more injury accidents than similar drivers who do no work related mileage.
- About 300 people are killed each year as a result of drivers falling asleep at the wheel. About 4 in 10 tiredness-related crashes involve someone driving a company vehicle.
- Company driver assessments and fleet driver training can reduce the risk of collisions by up to 70%
Every single work related road collision can cost a company money in terms of repair, insurance, down time for vehicle and employee, bad publicity etc, etc.
The fleet driver training we offer depends greatly on the individual needs of the client. However, as a guide, we normally offer:
- Licence and eyesight test
- Pre-drive vehicle checks
- Occupational road risk presentation
- Initial driving assessment
- Highway code quiz
- On-road driver training and coaching
- Demonstration drive if appropriate
This can all be done on a 1:1, 2:1 or 3:1 basis and over a full or half day. Again that all depends on your requirements.
The training we deliver is done on a bespoke basis. If the candidates have a history of speeding fines, we will design a speed awareness related training session. If they have a history of collisons, we can design a course with that in mind. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
