The Royal Society for Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has updated its Driver Profiler fleet risk assessment tool to be more user-friendly.
The online tool, used by a number of businesses, is designed to measure the attitude and behaviour of drivers via a questionnaire.
Questions have been designed by RoSPA's team and meet Health and Safety Executive guidelines on risk-assessing drivers.
According to the charity, the tool assesses the driver's approach to a number of situations including distractions, speed, dealing with pressure and journey planning.
The updated tool includes the following new features:
- Keeping all driver assessments on the same account
- A reporting function that enables users to view, filter and export data
- The ability to add your own questions to the tool and set your own deadlines for completion
- The ability to add and update your company logo.
"Around one-third of all deaths on the road each year involve those who are driving for work," said Eleanor Pugh-Stanley, RoSPA's fleet safety development manager. "This is a shocking statistic, and one that all fleet managers must to help drive down."
She added: "Driver Profiler is a cost-effective and time-efficient tool compared to in-vehicle assessments, which help managers to prioritise training for drivers, of any vehicle type, who need it most. It's a great first step to help you manage your occupational road risk."
