Brake is inviting all organisations with employees who drive for work to take part in its annual fleet safety survey
The survey, conducted by Brake Professional with the support of Licence Bureau, will focus on organisations’ policies and procedures regarding protecting vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists).
Taking part in the fleet safety survey is free and anonymous and all organisations who take part will receive a free copy of the survey report and results.
Brake’s 2017 survey about managing driver distraction caused by mobile phones and other technology was completed by more than 350 organisations operating fleets of various sizes and types, and with responsibility for thousands of driver and vehicles.
“All fleets have responsibility and a duty of care to protect those most vulnerable on our roads,” says Brake New Zealand Director Caroline Perry.
“The survey provides organisations with a great opportunity to benchmark themselves against industry safety standards.
“I would encourage any organisations with at-work drivers to take fifteen minutes out of their day to complete the survey.”
Knowledge is king and being able to understand and target areas of weakness and strategy in such changing times is vital to sustainable growth and safety in all sectors, adds Licence Bureau Marketing Director Mike Reed.
“This year’s survey topic is vulnerable road users (VRU).
“Last covered in 2014, we now have vastly increased numbers of cyclists, changes to infrastructure and a very different approach to sentencing.
“I welcome this survey and look forward to the results which will assist the efforts being made to protect vulnerable road users.”
Brake’s New Zealand division promotes road safety and campaigns against the carnage on New Zealand roads, and also raises funds to improve support for families bereaved and injured in road crashes.
Brake runs a not-for-profit global membership service for professionals working in the field of fleet safety.
Brake Professional is open to all professionals, but typically health & safety officers, fleet managers, risk managers, driver trainers, human resource professionals and vehicle managers. We also have many members who supply road safety services.
Brake Professional provides online access to practical road safety management tools to improve road safety, and free and significantly discounted access to Brake events. Find out more.
