The service reveals how well a fleet complies with health and safety, duty of care and other relevant legal requirements and suggests corrective action.

The Compliance Health Check reviews existing processes, identifying any gaps in the driver safety policy, fleet safety audit trail, driver-specific risk assessment and document checking. It also checks management procedures for grey fleets, where employees drive their own vehicles on work-related journeys. There is no legal distinction between these vehicles and in-house company cars and vans, creating added liabilities for a business.

Steve Clarke, group marketing manager for Fuel Card Services, said, “As part of our CompleteCare service, in partnership with ADT, we can help any fleet manager to ensure that their legal liabilities are fully covered.”

Jim Golby, ADT director of research and customer experience at ADT, added: “Any road incident puts valued employees, other road users and the general public at risk, so it is essential to take proactive steps to protect the safety and wellbeing of a workforce.

“Ensuring a fully compliant, much safer and more productive workforce can be achieved for as little as £30 annually per driver. Paying the insurance excess on a single collision will cover that many times over.”
