Driver Assessments

​

HSE’s Workplace Transport Safety guidance states that “Your procedures should ensure that workers are capable of operating the vehicles and attachments they use at work, in all of the environments in which they are used”and “experienced people should be monitored to make sure they are working in accordance with both the training they have received and any safe systems of work”

​

The service allows you to comply with that guidance whilst gaining valuable insight into your drivers’ strength and weaknesses. It can also help you identify issues that are undermining safety and efficiency in your business.

 

The assessment can be used for recruitment, regular monitoring or post-incident and covers the following:

Knowledge of the highway code

Drivers attitude

Vehicle checks

Coupling and uncoupling

Gear selection and use

Hazard perception

Adherence to road procedures

Mechanical sympathy

Fuel efficiency

Defensive driving

Safe driving

Speed selection
