Every company who uses vehicles for business must have a policy in place to cover safe driving, safe vehicle use and safe journeys.
If you employ five or more people, the policy must be documented.
You can create a new policy using Driving for Better Business's Policy Builder, or upload your own driving policy within the FleetCheck software within Drivers and then Policies -
By selecting 'Add to App' you are able to add the policy once complete direct to the Drivers App.
Why do I need a driving for work policy?
The law says all companies must have policies and procedures in place to minimise risk – and that includes the recognised risks around driving for work.
There are almost 40,000 injuries each year on Britain’s roads that involve someone driving for work. We all want our staff and other road users to get home safe and well at the end of each day.
Poorly managed drivers are more likely to crash and put additional strain on their vehicles which increases admin time, insurance costs, maintenance and fuel use.
