Road safety charity Brake is encouraging fleet operators and suppliers who are working to reduce incidents involving at-work drivers to enter its Australasian Fleet Safety Awards.
The road safety charity is reminding companies they have one week left with entries closing on Friday, June 21.
The awards are sponsored by the NZ Transport Agency and recognise the achievements of organisations and individuals working to reduce the number of road crashes involving people who drive on work purposes.
Brake NZ director Caroline Perry says the awards “celebrate the best of fleet safety”.
“We know there are lots of organisations doing fantastic work already to tackle their road risk, and these awards are a great opportunity to celebrate their successes and share best practice within the industry.”
Last year’s winners included NZ Racing Board, EROAD, NZ Trucking Association and Waste Management.
The Australasian Fleet Safety Awards are also supported by award sponsors Bridgestone, McFall, SurePlan and Suzuki NZ. This year’s awards are being offered in the following categories for organisations:
- Company Driver Safety Award
- Fleet Safety Product Award
- Road Safety in the Community Award
- Safe Vehicles Award
- Sustainable Journeys Award
There are also two categories that individuals working to promote fleet safety can be nominated for:
- Road Risk Manager of the Year Award
- Outstanding Commitment to Road Safety Award
