FleetMaxx Solutions and Road Skills Online have teamed up to create a fleet driver safety e-learning package to help all transport operators.
Developed by experts in transport, haulage and road safety, the Professional Development Plan is designed to encourage positive behaviour among drivers, reminding them of best practices, the law and much more.
The 36-month programme removes the hassle of professional development from operators, with the e-learning platform delivering monthly, industry-recognised Toolbox Talks direct to drivers at a time of their choosing.
The scheme prioritises common high-risk topics to minimise those risks as quickly as possible into everything from personal health and wellbeing through to customer service and teamwork.
After each monthly talk, drivers take a five-question multiple-choice quiz, reinforcing the points covered and ensuring they have taken everything on board.
By completing the month’s Toolbox Talk and quiz, drivers receive a personalised electronic certificate as evidence of their learning. An overview of their progress is also available via both the driver’s dashboard and the company dashboard.
The training has been accredited by the CPD Standards Office and also complies with several industry standards such as FORS D4, S5 and G5, and DVSA Earned Recognition Section 7.2, not to mention O Licence compliance.
Rachel Pearson, FleetMaxx’s Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) practitioner and key accounts manager, said: “Technology enables us to communicate with drivers in many new and different ways, providing them with the means to improve their driving not just behind the wheel but away from it too. Drivers’ minds must be in the right place, e-learning helps drivers to think better, drive well, control costs and contribute to public safety.
“The quality of Road Skills Online’s comprehensive approach to road safety creates an exciting proposition for our clients. As FORS Associates, we are delivering together on our commitment and empowering customers to operate some of the safest fleets in the world.”
