Road safety charity Brake is inviting managers to take part in a free webinar on the topic of driver fatigue.
The webinar is open to health and safety staff, fleet managers, senior management staff, and anyone else with responsibility for at-work drivers at their organisation. It takes place on Wednesday, September 16 from 2pm to 3pm.
Speakers will discuss:
- The causes of driver fatigue and the importance of including it in your road risk programme.
- Measures to help employers identify drivers who may be at-risk of fatigue.
- Measures to raise awareness of fatigue through education and communication programmes.
Brake NZ director Caroline Perry says fatigue is a really important road safety topic.
“It is a factor in a number of crashes, and anyone can be affected by it, yet many organisations don’t have policies and procedures in place to manage it, or don’t know how to address this risk with drivers.
“This webinar will provide information and advice on tackling the subject of driver tiredness, and is suitable for organisations operating fleets of any size and type, and I encourage anyone with responsibility for managing at-work drivers to attend,” Perry says.
This webinar is part of Global Fleet Champions, an initiative by Brake, aimed at sharing best practice in road risk management. Anyone involved in managing at-work drivers, and suppliers to fleets, can join the free service to gain access to best practice information through events, online and downloadable tools for managers and drivers.
