The start point for the best source of fleet information

Fleet safety benchmarking tool launched

Date: 03 March 2016   |   Author: Daniel Puddicombe

Road safety campaigners Driving for Better Business have launched a free fleet safety tool, which aims to improve safety by benchmarking companies against each other.

Known as the Fleet Safety Benchmarking tool, the free website enables employers to measure their at-work road safety performances against other fleets.

The tool poses 30 questions to assess an employer's practices across six areas:

  • Road safety management policles
  • Organisational leadership and culture
  • Journey and mobility management
  • Driver recruitment, induction, management and wellbeing
  • Vehicle selection, safety, management and security
  • Corporate, community and supply chain road safety

It then issues a report which provides question-by-question responses including scores against averages of other users' and data tables and graphs based on each of the six sections.

Data analysis will compare information on collision rates per vehicle and per one million kilometres driven as well as by vehicle and incident type and location.

After analysing how their fleet compares with others, fleet managers are able to access resources to help them update their policies and introduce new risk management solutions.

 "Fleet decision-makers will know the risk management solutions they have implemented and their outcomes," said Melvyn Modgetts, Driving for Better Business campaign manager. "But is that performance good so momentum can be maintained or can results be improved? Benchmarking will provide the answers."

"Fleet safety is most likely to be improved by the introduction of an integrated set of measures based on the safety culture within an organisation and benchmarking is one of the most effective ways of achieving improvements to road safety in a corporate setting," he added.
