Driving for Better Business – new fleet safety focus update
Driving is, for most people, the most dangerous activity they do.
Changes in weather conditions could easily make driving more dangerous, whether these are seasonal changes or weather events. Be sure your drivers are aware of the additional risk that comes with heavy rains, strong winds, fog, high temperatures, low sun, ice and snow – and that they adapt their driving style accordingly.
Driving for Better Business in collaboration with the National Highways Commercial Vehicle Incident Prevention Team are providing free to access resources to help those who manage and employ drivers. Their Fleet Safety Focus Updates cover an important area every month. This month’s update focuses on Weather Conditions.
It includes a link to download a file of useful resources for you to share with your drivers, including:
- An article to share with your drivers on seasonal driving and winter prep
- Short safety messages on winter driving to share with drivers on their devices
- Autumn and Winter Driving Posters for your staff noticeboards
- Information sheets from our Van Driver Toolkit
