The start point for the best source of fleet information |
Road safety charity Brake has published a guidance report for fleet managers and HR professionals on monitoring the mental health of drivers.
The report, produced in collaboration with telematics firm Teletrac Navman, is entitled Positive Mental Attitudes: Monitoring Driver Behaviour.
The report focuses on the importance of employers being aware of driver attitudes and highlights the need for organisations to develop a culture that values and prioritises people and their welfare.
Guidance is provided by leading fleet industry experts and academics alongside multiple industry case studies.
Brake senior fleet officer Sarah Plumb said: "Poor attitudes and a negative state of mind can have a detrimental effect on driver safety.
"Whilst awareness and open discussion about such issues are increasing, more can and should be done to ensure the safety of drivers and other road users.
"Organisations have a responsibility to ensure their drivers are both physically and mentally fit to drive. And effective holistic approaches need to be introduced to achieve this."
Teletrac Navman UK marketing director Peter Millichap said: ""Fleet managers have a responsibility to their employees and other road users to monitor the health and wellbeing of their drivers, and take action if necessary.
"Teletrac Navman works closely with customers, using telematics technology to assess driver behaviour, and offering advice on best practice."
The report is available for free to Brake Professional members through the charity's website. Non-members can order the report from the online shop.
