Driver safety
Research shows that every week 20 people are killed and a further 250 seriously
injured while using a vehicle for work purposes. This makes driving one of the
most dangerous work activities in the UK (FleetPlan 2004). However, health and
safety associated with work-related driving is often unsatisfactory or totally
neglected by employers.
Cardinus fleet risk services (in conjuction with RAC Risk Management) help you to
formulate your policies, assess and manage the risks.

In-vehicle driver training is universally recognised as the single most
effective way to reduce driver related incidents.
The RAC's national network of qualified, expert trainers provides half or full day training
across the UK.

Every organisation requiring an employee to use a vehicle in the course of employment
has the same duty to provide a written fleet safety policy. This online document
provides an easy-to-use template.

With the extension of ‘Duty of Care’ legislation by the Health and Safety Executive
to fleet operations, fleet risk management has never been so topical or important.
Cardinus fleet risk management is designed to
protect fleet operators from prosecution while also providing measurable cost savings.
