Fleet Driver Training and Management
Fleet Driver Training & Work-Related Road Risk
Professional fleet driver training helps businesses assess and develop employees who drive as part of their work, whether they use company vehicles or their own vehicles for business journeys.
Matt Price Driver Training provides practical fleet driver assessments and training tailored to the needs of individual drivers and organisations. With more than 20 years’ driver-training experience, Matt can help businesses identify areas for improvement and develop safer, more confident drivers.
Managing Driving at Work
Employers have responsibilities for managing health and safety risks associated with driving for work. This applies to employees who drive company vehicles and those who use their own vehicles for work-related journeys.
Managing work-related road risk can include checking that drivers are suitably licensed and competent, assessing individual driving risks, maintaining safe vehicles and ensuring journeys are planned appropriately.
Driver assessment and training can form an important part of this process, particularly for new employees, higher-risk drivers or anyone whose driving has been identified as an area requiring development.
Fleet Driver Assessments & Training
Training can be tailored to your organisation, vehicle type and individual drivers. Depending on your requirements, this can include:
- Driver licence and entitlement checks
- New employee driver assessments
- Existing driver assessments and development
- Defensive driving and hazard awareness
- Eco-driving and fuel-efficient driving techniques
- Vehicle safety checks
- Motorway, rural and urban driving
- Post-incident or targeted driver training
- Highway Code and road-safety refresher training
Training Tailored to Your Business
Every organisation is different, so fleet driver training can be adapted to your vehicles, drivers and operational requirements.
Training may be suitable for businesses operating cars, vans and other light commercial vehicles, as well as employees using their own vehicles for business journeys.
Following an assessment, feedback can be provided on the driver’s performance together with any areas where further development may be beneficial.
Why Invest in Fleet Driver Training?
Effective management of work-related driving can help organisations improve driver safety and reduce unnecessary risk. Better driving standards may also contribute to lower fuel use, reduced vehicle wear and fewer incidents.
Training can also help drivers become more aware of hazards, improve observation and planning, and develop safer driving habits that can be applied to their everyday work.
