Why this matters

This course is delivered by DFA Online.

Beverley Bell Consulting & Training recommends this course as part of a wider approach to driver safety and compliance.

Driving for work is one of the highest-risk activities employees undertake.

Employers have a legal duty to manage that risk under health and safety legislation.

Simple training like this can make a significant difference when things go wrong.

This course helps you:

 

  • Demonstrate a proactive approach to duty of care
  • Reduce the likelihood of incidents and claims
  • Protect your employees, business, and reputation
  • Show evidence of training and compliance

EMPLOYERS’ HEALTH AND SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES

If any of your employees drive their own cars or vans in the course of their duties, you are operating a Grey fleet.

As their employer, it’s not just good practice but a requirement to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. This includes having robust policies in place to manage your drivers and ensure they receive adequate training.

“Skills for Safer Journeys” is the perfect training course protecting both employers and employees.

YOUR EMPLOYEE'S WELFARE AND DUTY OF CARE

Every journey your drivers undertake begins and ends in the UK’s most hazardous workplace: the road network. Are they adequately trained and equipped to handle any incident?

As an employer of car, van, and grey fleet drivers, you have a Duty of Care to provide the necessary training to ensure your employees can assess risks while on the road.

Skills for Safer Journeys is the training you and your employees need to comply with health and safety regulations and protect your business.

It is time to act to make the road network a safer place for drivers
