Why manage fleet safety? - New web-based material

24 May 2011

 For many people, the most dangerous thing they do while at work is drive on the public highway.

Crashes  can have a serious impact on programme delivery.
Managing a fleet safety policy is a legal requirement in many countries around the world and organisations can be held accountable for any failures committed by its staff, or transport service providers.


The vehicle fleet is probably the most prominent symbol of the organisation and driver behaviour and vehicle use/misuse will affect how an organisation is perceived thus impacting reputation.


This website is intended for use by all organisations operating road transport fleets, whatever their size from single vehicle owner-driver operations to fleets of many thousand vehicles and drivers, and from both the private and public sectors. It contains tips and suggestions from the world's leading experts on fleet safety management.
