EMPLOYERS’ HEALTH AND SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES

If any of your employees drive their own cars or vans in the course of their duties, you are operating a Grey fleet.

As their employer, it's not just good practice but a requirement to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. This includes having robust policies in place to manage your drivers and ensure they receive adequate training.

"Skills for Safer Journeys" is the perfect training course protecting both employers and employees.

YOUR EMPLOYEE'S WELFARE AND DUTY OF CARE

Every journey your drivers undertake begins and ends in the UK's most hazardous workplace: the road network. Are they adequately trained and equipped to handle any incident they might encounter?

As an employer of car, van, and grey fleet drivers, you have a Duty of Care to provide the necessary training to ensure your employees can assess risks while on the road.

Skills for Safer Journeys is the training you and your employees need to comply with health and safety regulations and protect your business.

OUR LATEST 5 STAR REVIEWS

Our customers rate us 'Excellent'
"Iron Mountain has been recognised for our Road Safety ethos over the years, utilising Driver First Assist has been a significant factor in embedding a safety culture within our Transportation teams."
RORY MORGAN
HEAD OF TRANSPORTATION HEAD OF TRANSPORTATION - EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA
"Having worked in the Road Transport Industry for nearly 40 years and having been an Expert Witness in many serious and fatal road traffic collisions, the importance of emergency first aid at the scene of such incidents should not be overlooked. Driver First Assist gives that opportunity to ensure that more individuals and road users have the skills to secure a scene and to apply emergency first aid, before the Emergency Services arrive thereby, improving the chances of survival for the most critically injured. I would encourage anyone who travels on a regular basis and therefore, might be the first person on the scene to attend one of these courses and obtain vital life-saving skills."

The hon. Gentleman (Rob Flello MP) highlighted eloquently the difference made by DFA, and our nation is stronger for its work.
Andrew Jones
Transport Minister
"We used to send our drivers on full day in person training courses. This downtime had a negative knock on effect with our production. Now our employees take the online courses at home or in the office and generally have it completed in an hour and half."
SARAH WILSON
DIRECTOR, GS LOGISTICS
"Providing professional drivers, who are often first to witness or come across such incidents, with basic life support training and the knowledge to know what to do will ultimately mean patients get the care they need whilst emergency help is en route."
DR ANTHONY MARSH
CEO, ASSOCIATION OF AMBULANCE CHIEF EXECUTIVES
"The DFA Online course "Skills for Safer Journeys" has greatly benefited our company. The training on dynamic risk assessment and effective communication with emergency services ensures my team is well-prepared for any road incident.
