duty of care management

Managing Occupational Road Risk (MORR), or Managing Work-Related Road Safety (MWRRS) as it is sometimes called, is now one of the biggest issues facing businesses.

Businesses have an obligation to protect the welfare, health and safety of staff as well as the general public, whilst employees are driving at work - irrespective of who owns the vehicle or how many business miles are travelled. The Highway Code, Health and Safety Act, Road Traffic Act, Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) and the Corporate Manslaughter & Corporate Homicide Act 2007 all need to be taken into consideration.

The cost of complying is not great; however, the price of failing to do so is huge.

Fleet Assured is a practical programme that cuts through much of the industry hype around what is required and gets to the core of what needs to be done, minimising cost exposure.

Fleet Assured significantly reduces corporate risk:

• Audit and management of risks
• Document checks - licences, maintenance, insurance
• Driver declarations
• Accident reviews
• Driver training
