The optifleet Solution...

Manage Risk

There can be a perception that employees in company cars are safer than employees driving their own cars for business use, probably because the company car driver has a fully inclusive maintenance package, and it can be difficult to track service and maintenance records of cash takers.

Whilst the latter population can cause more work than the former, a properly structured cash scheme will carry the same levels of risk as if the cars were company owned and should be treated equally.
With the Corporate Manslaughter Act, the issue of HSE responsibilities in respect of Occupational Road Risk could not be clearer, but establishing and operating a robust car policy need not be onerous. The optifleet solution includes built-in driver assessments for measuring risk and testing driving skills, attitude and hazard awareness as well as knowledge of road laws. This is combined with online driver training and a comprehensive management database.

Opticar will also provide assistance with the car policy itself, and manage other necessary and additional functions such as DVLA driving licence checking, on-road driver training (where required), spot checks and maintenance history.
