fleet safety

Statistics show that road crashes are the most common cause of work related death.   Approximately 30% of all vehicles registered in Australia are used for business purposes; which is a relatively large proportion of vehicles on Australian roads. The issue of fleet safety is therefore imperative to organisations and the community at large.

Safe Driving Program

The introduction of a safe driving program can provide substantial benefits to your organisation.  These include the improved health and safety of employees, cost savings and improvement in morale amongst staff.

occupational health and safety (OH&S)

Organisations which require employees to drive as part of their employment have an OH&S responsibility to prevent injury arising from the use of work vehicles.  The same high levels of safety should be provided to these employees as is provided to employees on the employer's premises.

reduction of injuries

By the introduction of a safe driving program, organisations can reduce the probability of employees being involved in crashes.  This in turn, can lead to reductions in injury levels, absenteeism and possible production losses.

work cover premium

An organisation's work cover premium can be reduced as a reduction of OH&S risk for employees.

lower repair and replacement costs

The introduction a safe driving program can lead to less spending on vehicle repairs and associated costs as well as possible reductions in insurance premiums.

higher re-sale value of vehicles

A higher re-sale value can be ensured if fleet vehicles are involved in fewer crashes.
