FLEET POLICY

Policy management & legislative compliance

A robust and well-constructed vehicle policy is the single, most important element of successfully overseeing and operating a vehicle fleet. Such documents demonstrate understanding and set out the expectations of all parties. Fleet Policy is equally about compliance as without this, any policy is rendered meaningless.

Working with your business, we take a consultative approach to help develop and evolve tailored documents that achieve your cultural and corporate objectives. They must uphold high standards of driving, health and safety, offer good management procedures; as well as ensure record keeping.

As part of the process, we identify the steps that need to be taken and work with your business to ensure that the policies become “living” and the values upheld. These requirements are vital to fulfil current Government legislation.

Considerations for appropriate policies should include:

• Employee eligibility to a company vehicle
• Who is permitted to drive a vehicle
• Who is permitted to drive on company business
• What is company business
• Levels of vehicle choice
• Maintenance procedures
• Safe driving guidance
• Licence, insurance for UK driving and a roadworthy vehicle
• Health and Safety implications
• Use of mobile phones
• Speeding, drugs and alcohol
• Legislation
