RSS Fleet Risk Management
Fleet risk management is the process in ensuring that companies do as much as possible to make sure that company car drivers are insured, safe and as aware of dangers while out on the road.
Every company has a legal obligation or duty of care to make sure that a workplace is safe and to prevent risks to health from occurring. The workplace extends to the company car vehicles that employees drive on business, this in effect means that companies need to educate drivers of the dangers while out on the roads and make sure the vehicles they drive are safe and the driver themselves is both a responsible driver but a safety conscious one too.
Duty of care for fleets is an important necessity to enforce, to make sure companies are both compliant and not liable.
