WELCOME TO SKILLS FOR SAFER JOURNEYS PLUS

Skills for Safer Journeys Plus is a suite of policy document templates and an online training course designed to ensure your business remains compliant with health and safety regulations and keep your drivers safe at all times.

The document templates, produced by our national law firm partner, Stephensons Solicitors, can be easily adapted to your business, regardless of size.

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, including having robust policies to manage your drivers and ensure they receive adequate training.

Skills for Safer Journeys Plus is the perfect package. It includes the policy documents you require by law and a training course accredited for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for your drivers.

TAKE THE COMPLIANCE TEST BY ANSWERING THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

Do you have an adequate policy to manage your grey fleet drivers?
Do you assess the health and safety of your drivers regularly?
Do you have records of health and safety assessments demonstrating your drivers' capabilities and competencies?

If you didn't answer yes to all of the above, don't worry. Skills for Safer Journeys Plus can provide you with the tools and support you need to ensure fleet compliance and the health and safety of your drivers.

Every journey your drivers undertake begins and ends in the UK's most hazardous workplace: the road network. Are they adequately trained - and do you have the appropriate policies to prove it?

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. The practical approach to first aid and vehicle positioning has enhanced our overall safety and confidence on the road. I strongly endorse this course for all employers."
