The new scheme is designed to minimise the risk factors facing fleets by helping organisations to understand their full legal, financial and duty of care obligations.
To kick-start the campaign, Enterprise Flex-E-Rent has published a brand-new guide, ‘Why fleet compliance should be a top business priority’, which provides instant access to a free online risk and compliance audit that has been specially prepared in conjunction with ADT’s experienced fleet compliance team.
The guide examines the numerous benefits of fleet compliance and the potential consequences associated with its absence.
Danny Glynn, managing director, Enterprise Flex-E-Rent, said: “More than 30% of UK road deaths are associated with driving for business, which makes it a high-risk business activity. Individuals and employers can be prosecuted for any act of non-compliance or associated negligence, so it is essential that fleet compliance is made a top priority.”
He continued: “Whether your organisation runs a commercial fleet, a handful of vehicles in a small business, or if you have employees who make work related journeys in ‘grey’ fleet vehicles, you have the same high level responsibilities towards your drivers. Apart from the obvious benefits of ensuring an organisation has fulfilled its duty of care and compliance-related obligations, there are also other significant benefits emanating from taking a proactive and best practice approach, such as reducing accidents, delivering serious cost savings and crucially protecting staff safety.”
