Company drivers should be risk assessed annually
Companies operating vehicle fleets should be risk assessing their drivers at least once a year.
That's according to E-Training World's managing director, Graham Hurdle, who says that an annual assessment is not only a vital health and safety discipline, it also sends a clear message to all drivers that their behaviour and ability is being monitored – and this leads to less accidents and a culture of safer driving.
Graham’s view echos that of Andrew Wetters, policy advisor workplace transport at the Health and Safety Executive, who told a seminar organised by ACFO (the association of car fleet operators) last year that employers should conduct driver risk assessments at least annually.
