How vehicle tracking helps Risk Managers
Safeguard your company and stay on the right side of the law
Any organisation operating vehicles has a considerable responsibility to ensure that both drivers and vehicles are up to the job. Vehicle tracking provides many safeguards to ensure your company keeps on the right side of the law:
-
Vehicle tracking doesn't just save money, it can also save lives
-
Companies using tracking have tangible proof of their on going commitment to new duty of care responsibilities under last year's Corporate Manslaughter Act
-
Our Duty of Care module puts the onus on your drivers to complete an initial vehicle safety check every day, safeguarding your drivers from vehicle risks such as bald tyres, low air pressure or faulty lights
-
Speed reports identify high risk drivers who speed regularly, allowing you to address problems - ultimately stopping accidents - through driver training
-
Working Time Directive reports help you to schedule your mobile workforce to ensure that they don't break the drive time limits specified by the legislation. You can also set up alerts to tell drivers when they haven't taken enough rest breaks to stop them from working too many hours and potentially driving dangerously
-
Panic buttons triggering an automatic email or text message are particularly valuable for lone workers in remote areas or drivers delivering high value goods
-
Stationary vehicle alerts bring managers' attention to potential driver safety issues when a vehicle has been at a standstill during a working day for more than one hour, for example
-
Driver ID technology allows fleet managers to meet additional legal responsibilities by identifying exactly who is driving a vehicle, where and at what time
