Risk Management

It is estimated that each year work related accidents cost the UK employer £2.7 billion and fleet drivers are 53% more likely to be involved in an injury road traffic accident.

We understand the major risk factors involved in managing driving tasks carried out by those who drive for work, whether in company vehicles or their own.

TRL is helping clients establish and evolve their approach to road safety risk management and comply with duty of care requirements by providing products, solutions and targeted risk advice across the broadest range of operational activities. Our approach delivers the most cost-effective evidence-based solutions, which helps create safer drivers and safer fleets, including grey fleets.

We can help with:

• Influencing corporate safety cultures and communicating safety messages
• Impairment through alcohol, drugs (medicinal and illicit) and fatigue
• Driver distraction, for example, mobile phone use, in-vehicle aids and road design
• Safe journey management systems to remove journeys where possible and, where not, to mitigate risks as far as is practicable given local operating conditions
• Driver competency
• Safety for personnel on the roadway or on site, including work on conspicuity of vehicles and workwear
• Auditing existing risk management policies, procedures and practices

Site Safety

We can also assess site safety anywhere where the public or your staff interact with vehicles on your premises: car parks, loading bays, airports.

Our site safety assessors and road safety auditors have extensive experience of analysis of historical collision data, investigating accidents and of undertaking safety assessments, audits and reviews of public highway and private sites both in the UK and overseas.

The team composition and the scope of the work are always customised to our client`s unique requirements with particular regard given to the environment, likely weather conditions, the users of the environment and the vehicle mix involved.

When problems are identified, we aim to recommend safety improvements which are viable and proportionate as well as effective.
