Benefits Gained
'Driving is the most dangerous work activity that most people carry out. Millions of cars, vans, lorries, taxis, minibuses and motorcycles are used for business journeys every day'.
There are very few organisations that operate without using motor vehicles in one way or another.
Whether you are a multi-national company with thousands of drivers or a smaller local business with only a few, the benefits gained from utilising our expertise and training far outweigh the potential costs of failing to comply with the law.
Better control over costs
Come and chat to Drivex Ltd about how your driver risk management, assessment and training can lead to significant long term savings for your business.
- Wear and Tear - Our expert assessment and tuition can ensure that all of your drivers are using their vehicles in the safest and most efficient manner, meaning less mechanical failure, less accident damage and better residual values of vehicles.
- Fuel costs - A higher standard and ability behind the wheel means the driver is better able to exploit the vehicle's full fuel consumption capabilities. With fuel prices ever climbing, even savings of a few percentage points can mean huge savings over time.
- Insurance premiums - If your fleet drivers are safer and better trained, then inevitably this means less accidents. It has been clearly demonstrated that savings of 25% and more can be achieved on fleet insurance where drivers have been properly risked assessed.
- Legal costs - Less accidents means less litigation, and by default less legal cost throughout each year.
- Employee claims - If your drivers are having fewer accidents, and not becoming injured, then claims against employers for damages consequently are reduced.
- Third Party claims - In the same way, less accidents means less damage to other persons or property, and in our ever-increasing litigious society, the cost savings from being sued by third parties are huge.
'Savings of 25% and more can be achieved on fleet insurance where a bespoke Company Driving Risk Management Policy is in place'
Better informed decisions
Drivex Ltd can help your company into a position where it is far more able to make accurate and informed decisions concerning the three main areas relating to work driving.
- Driver Training requirements - A programme of driver assessment, risk assessment and training from Drivex, tailored to the needs of your company, can help you decide far more accurately the training needs and priorities for all of your drivers, saving unnecessary expenditure, and making sure those most in need of additional training and skills receive it, leading to less accidents.
- Vehicle purchasing - This training and assessment can also help you to form a better picture of your vehicle needs and requirements, saving on potentially costly mistakes.
- Health and Safety Improvements - someone once said "if you think safety is expensive, try having an accident". Our bespoke training and assessment programmes will help you identify what health and safety improvements your company needs to make, whether that is related to driver training and ability, gaining new driving licence categories, risk assessments or your health and safety policy on work-related driving.
In addition to this, case studies and research have clearly demonstrated significant benefits and improvements for companies undertaking the type of training and assessment programmes offered by Drivex Ltd.
