Licence checking services can be carried out for any fleet. Checks against the DVSA’s database ensure you don’t employ disqualified or unsuitable drivers. This also enables you to comply with business legislation and ‘duty of care’ obligations, which can help to reduce your corporate risk and save a sizeable amount on your insurance premiums.
Safedrive offer an extensive range of driver risk management tools that can help reinforce the adoption of safe practice and provide admissible evidence in the event of a claim. These include forward-facing accident cameras, mobile phone usage-control devices, and drink and drug testing kits. These tools and advice will help keep your business and its employees compliant, your bottom line protected and your reputation intact.
Our online fleet driver profiling rates and improves a driver’s ability via an initial assessment of their skills and attitude followed by a series of fun and interactive modules. We offer ongoing driver theory and practical education with DVSA-approved assessors to help keep skills sharp and knowledge up-to-date, decreasing your running costs and accident rate, and boosting your business’ green credentials.
We have over 50 independent, professionally qualified trainers who run a number of modular courses aligned to the driver CPC. Combining practice with theory, these comprehensive courses help drivers develop and retain the skills, knowledge, judgment and flexibility to carry their passengers safely and comfortably. In so doing they underpin your business health and safety, service, and cost management initiatives.
