The call comes from fleet road safety specialist TTC, which says its DriverProtect test will quickly reveal if a business is successfully minimising its workplace road safety risks for staff who drive for work and also identifies how a company can improve driver safety.

“Organisations have instant access to results at the end of the audit and get a better understanding of how they manage workplace safety. It also shows how to implement best practice,” said TTC director Alan Prosser.

“It’s better to be proactive rather than wait for a road traffic incident which may have a serious business impact.”

The audit includes information on how to reduce driving risks, create a company safety culture, review policy documents, test staff knowledge, DVLA document checks, risk and aptitude assessments, including the identification of hazards and data monitoring.
