The judges for this year’s Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards have recognised that companies with the most successful safe driving for work programmes do not just provide training and risk assessment for drivers but also provide real-time information to the companies’ transport heads so specific action to cut accidents can be taken.
Two companies were singled out for their innovative road safety work at the Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards presentation in London.
They were: Fleet Support Group’s RiskMaster programme which is central to the fleet management programme in George Osborne Ltd, a nation-wide construction, civil engineering and property services company employing 1000 people, with nearly 500 cars and vans and a further 366 employees driving their own cars for work.
And GreenRoad’s programme for Iron Mountain, a global leader in information management partnered at the outset with Zurich Insurance’s Zurich Risk Engineering team. Iron Mountain has a fleet of 450 vehicles in the UK and Ireland, including 290 vans and various heavy goods vehicles.
Adrian Walsh director RoadSafe, organisers of the Prince Michael Road Safety Awards said: “This year our judges noted an important thread in all the entries. Companies with the most successful safe driving for work programmes all used technology; not simply to asses risk but to provide real-time management information. GreenRoad and Riskmaster do just this.
