Our free online gap analysis tool will help you identify any areas in your current management practices that could be improved. It will also show you what activities are considered to be a minimum standard for legal compliance, and what leading employers and regulators would consider to be good practice.
There are 4 sections on the main areas of risk:
Organisation
This sections starts to build a picture of your organisation’s understanding of work-related road risk as well as the operational processes and procedures that need to be in place to manage the risk effectively.
Drivers
The section checks that your staff are eligible and competent to drive for work.
Vehicles
This section explores the standards and systems you have in place to ensure all your vehicles are safe and legal.
Journeys
This section looks at whether external pressures may affect your driver’s ability to complete the journey safely.
plus 4 optional sections for non-standard risks:
Towing
Do any of your drivers ever tow a trailer (loaded or unloaded) or plant behind a company vehicle or their own vehicle?
Specialist
Do any of your staff ever drive any specialist vehicles or operate under additional regulations or exemptions. This would include MEWPS, wide loads, cranes, etc or the transportation of hazardous goods.
Motorcycles
Do any of your staff ride a motorcycle or quad bike as part of their role, either on or off road?
Outsourced
Do you outsource or procure transport services – vehicles and drivers controlled by other organisations and where you may still be required to manage the risk?
