Road safety charity Brake has published a new guide aimed at senior managers in organisations with at-work drivers.
In collaboration with Quartix, the Managing road risk: a guide for senior managers provides crucial information on the importance of road risk management, along with practical measures for implementation.
The guide includes information on the business case for fleet safety, legal compliance, moral and social responsibility, and how investing in safety can save organisations money.
Practical advice is also provided on issues such as work-related road risk management models, risk assessment and management, policies and procedures, and creating a road safety culture.
Best practice case studies provide an insight into measures other organisations are implementing to address their risk.
The report also addresses the importance of senior management support for, and involvement in, fleet safety policies and procedures. That’s in addition to supervisors/line managers and at-work drivers themselves.
This resource is available free to Brake Professional members through www.brakepro.org while non-members can order it from the Brake shop, or join Brake Professional to access this and other resources.
The first ten non-member organisations will receive it free by emailing brakecharity@gmail.com to request a copy.
