Fleets can now use latest software from FleetCheck to spotlight any gaps in their Driving for Work documentation to ensure they are legally compliant.
Under a latest enhancement, FleetCheck’s fleet management software will alert users if there isn’t a Driving for Work policy registered by the company. It then provides a prompt to visit the newly launched Driving for Better Business (DfBB) Driving for Work Policy Builder in order to create a solution.
Launched in May after being showcased at the 2024 Great British Fleet Event, the interactive Driving for Work Policy Builder help companies running fleets tackle their legal responsibilities.
Developed by Driving for Better Business (DfBB), a free-to-access government-backed National Highways programme, the free tool enables companies to create a document from a template and then check that it meets legal and compliance requirements.
Users who adopt it are then reminded by the FleetCheck software to review the policy annually and notified about any important updates from DfBB that may need to be included.
Peter Golding, managing director at FleetCheck, said: “Good risk management is at the heart of fleet management and, of course, a legal requirement when it comes to fleet safety.
“What we have done here is make it a more proactive part of our fleet software, helping to ensure that an appropriate risk management policy covering legal Driving for Work requirements has been created by everyone across our client base. The new DfBB Policy Builder can help our customers hugely in this respect. It is an excellent online resource that makes creating high-quality documentation very easy.
“We’re very keen on not just providing software tools to our clients but enabling them to access a whole infrastructure of support gathered from across the industry that builds fleet management best practice.”
Driving for Better Business is a government-backed National Highways programme to help employers in both the private and public sectors reduce work-related road risk, control associated costs and improve compliance with current legislation and guidance.
Golding said: “We have a longstanding relationship with DfBB and are pleased to be able to integrate their latest risk management initiative into our software in this manner. It’s all about trying to make fleet operations as safe as possible.”
