Keep your drivers safe and your fleet compliant
The safety and compliance of a light commercial vehicle (LCV) fleet is seen as a burden within many organisations. So how can you ensure that your LCV fleet continuously meets all the safety requirements? In this blog, we provide some practical pointers.
In line with the European Framework Directive on Safety and Health at Work, all employers need to take appropriate preventive measures to make work safer and healthier. This means properly assessing all the risks via an active safety culture and prioritising their efforts based on impact, likelihood and importance. Ideally, the top-down approach should start at board level and promote ownership of the topic among everyone within the company, putting safety and compliance at the very heart of the corporate culture.
Laws and guidelines such as driving hours, vehicle inspections, vehicle overload rules, Clean Air Zones and driving licences are constantly changing. Therefore, it is important to continuously keep yourself informed about the latest regulatory developments and requirements affecting your fleet so that you can assess their impact and adjust your fleet approach as necessary.
To find out more about how to keep your drivers safe and your fleets compliant, read our new white paper: ‘The safety and compliance of your LCV fleet’.
