Brake targets SMEs with free guide to fleet road safety

The guide is published through the road safety charity’s Fleet Safety Forum with the support of the Department for Transport and outlines practical, low-cost steps small businesses can take to save money, and protect their employees and the wider community from the devastation a crash can cause. It includes first steps in drawing up a policy and communicating safe driving messages to drivers, with sample policies and links to downloadable tools and further guidance.

It contains case studies from organisations that have successfully reduced their road risk and benefitted their business as a result. It covers how to: measure and benchmark fleet safety; gain senior buy-in; manage and reduce risk to drivers, vehicles, and journeys; and continually improve fleet safety.

Laura Woods, research and information officer at Brake, said: ‘Driving is the riskiest thing most people do at work, so it's vital for businesses of any size to manage this risk. It can be daunting for smaller organisations to start putting in place effective fleet safety practices, but this guide sets out clearly where to begin and tried and tested methods.’
