Driver Assessments

This assessment is designed for fleet owners and organisations who wish to fulfil their duty of care and assess their employees’ driving skills.

A Report is prepared with the results from a road rules knowledge test, the fundamentals of safe driving, increased awareness whilst driving and general on-road evaluation of skills. This will provide an indication of the employee’s level of driving standard. It will also highlight areas that require further improvement and may require additional training or review.

• One off bulk assessment of your employees.
• Ad hoc assessment whenever you take on a new employee.
• Ad hoc assessment for an employee that has had an accident.
