SAFED for vans is designed to help anyone who drives a van as part of their job, to improve their safe and fuel efficient driving techniques. It is a one-day off the job training course which involves a mix of classroom and on the road tuition with each driver that passes being awarded a certificate of achievement. By undertaking the training, drivers can also help reduce their risk of accidents and gain a better understanding of the thought processes involved in reading the traffic and road conditions ahead while driving smoothly, safely and economically. The scheme was originally launched in 2006 and has proved immensely popular with over 7500 drivers having been trained to date. This alone with excellent overall results in achieving safer and greener driving, lead to the DFT committing a further £1.2m in September 2007 to train more van drivers. In 2006/7 SAFED for vans training, on average, achieved the following:
SAFED uses a tried and tested approach to train drivers, supplying materials to aid training. Your drivers can learn new skills and improve existing ones helping to reduce stress behind the wheel, increasing confidence in vehicle control and driving technique whilst improving job efficiency and professionalism. COSTS T2usfleettraining can provide further details The cost of failing to manage these two vital resources could be more costly Your business may have drivers who are occupational drivers in order for them to do their job. But have you also considered the occasional driver who uses a pool car or their own vehicle to make an occasional errand or infrequent business call. You must show that people who drive within your business are safe to do so. Human cost of road crashes is well documented in statistics at local and national level. The hidden costs affect families, friends and colleagues of those involved. The Highway Code now refers to crashes or collisions rather than an accident which would imply no one was at fault. Crashes involve one of three elements 2% the vehicle, 3% environmental factors, but human error is a contributory factor involved in 95% of crashes. The driving environment is becoming ever more complex, business demands are keener and indications suggest overall driving standards have not kept pace with advances in vehicle and road design. Each one of these factors is going to make driving in the future even more taxing than it is now. Statistics show that on average 1 in 5 private motorists make an insurance claim each year, while driving for business it is 1 in 3. Driving for business is a risky activity. There are a number of reasons for this but the human factors such as attitude, fatigue alertness, stress and views on risk taking are significant contributors. No one is immune to fatigue, stress and the other human factors but the ability to recognise them soon enough will reduce their effect before they significantly increase the risk of a crash. Effective driver training can reduce the risks and costs of running a fleet of drivers/vehicles and protect your most valuable asset: your staff.
