All staff that drive your Company’s vehicles or their own vehicle should be issued with a Driver’s Handbook along the lines of the guidance contained within the Fleetsafe Managers Guide described above.
This type of handbook should outline driver’s duties and responsibilities, as well as providing general fleet related information such as policy and procedures.
If it is issued against the individual’s signature, it will increase: -
- Its retention factor
- The atmosphere of discipline and responsibility which you expect and demand from all drivers
- The probability that, as well as being read, its contents and aims will be understood and accepted.
In conjunction with HC Solicitors, Cardinus Fleet can provide access to an online policy document together with a driver’s handbook, which will be updated continuously to reflect changes in legislation. Your company will be able to personalise the document to reflect individual company requirements with the ability to print multiple copies or link into a company intranet.
