The Australasian Fleet Management Association (AfMA) and road safety charity Brake are encouraging organisations with at-work drivers to attend a forthcoming seminar on fleet management.
The Future of Fleets is Here seminar, sponsored by Teletrac Navman, takes place in Auckland on October 19.
It will cover some of the key topics affecting fleets today, from safety to technology and the environment.
The seminar will look at some of the current challenges facing fleets, as well as opportunities in relation to safety, technology, the environment, and fleet management.
The event is open to anyone involved in, or with an interest in, fleet management, such as health and safety staff, fleet managers, senior management staff, fleet suppliers, insurers, and driver training providers. Speakers will discuss topics including:
- current challenges and opportunities for the fleet management industry
- developments in technology
- creating a safety culture
- driver impairment and how to mitigate risk
- fleets and the environment.
Brake NZ director Caroline Perry says the seminar will cover some essential topics.
“If you have employees who drive on work purposes, fleet management, including managing your road risk, is a vital part of your workplace health and safety programme.
“This seminar is designed for organisations operating fleets of any size and type, and with any size of budget, and I urge anyone with staff who drive on work purposes to attend,” Perry says.
AfMA executive director Mace Hartley says industry-led seminars “are the foundation stones for your continuing education and career advancement in fleet management”.
“AfMA organises regular seminars but we especially enjoy heading over to Auckland to connect with our NZ-based members and supporters.
“Whether you’re new to the fleet industry or have been in the game for many years – starting the conversation about vehicle safety is always an eye-opening experience and one we simply can’t take for granted,” Hartley says.
Following the seminar, Brake is hosting the 2023 Australasian Fleet Champions Awards at the same venue, recognising organisations that have implemented measures to reduce their road risk.
Tickets to the seminar cost $95+GST per person. Combined tickets to attend both the seminar and Fleet Champions Awards cost $175+GST each.
