Brake Professional Bulletin - Improving Your Organisation's Road Safety

Taking place today - Identifying and addressing driver fatigue webinar Fatigue is a major contributory factor in crashes in the UK, with too little sleep radically affecting driver attention, awareness, reaction time and ability to control the vehicle. It is very dangerous because it can affect anyone, regardless of how experienced a driver they are. At-work drivers can be particularly at risk. Our academic and practitioner speaker line-up will discuss the causes of driver fatigue and the importance of including it in your road risk programme, measures to help employers identify drivers who may be at-risk of fatigue, as well as look at sleep disorders. Confirmed speakers: Mark Sherman, Manager, Commercial Motor at Allianz Paul Jackson, Head of Impairment Research at TRL David Lee, Clinical Director at Sleep Unlimited Stephen Duffy, Senior Delivery Manager at Network Rail This webinar, kindly sponsored by Allianz, is free to attend. To register, complete our online form.

Increase Safety and Efficiency with the RH600 Telematics Camera   The innovative Trakm8 RH600 4G telematics camera provides fleet managers with the insights they need to improve safety and reduce costs. It is proven to reduce at-fault insurance claims and help drivers to adopt a safer, smoother driving style. This leading-edge device can be fitted with either a single or a dual camera head, meaning that it can monitor the driver as well as the road ahead. Fleet managers can log in and stream live footage from any camera, at any time, enabling spot checks to prevent driver distraction such as mobile phone use. The RH600 also features a full suite of telematics applications, including driver behaviour monitoring and scoring. Drivers receive feedback from the device, in real time, to help them eliminate bad habits such as heavy acceleration, harsh braking, and sharp cornering. Fleet managers can monitor driver scores, enabling early intervention if any issues emerge. Driven to Distraction - an interactive game focuses on the risks of distracted driving   Brake has released a new interactive resource aimed at health and safety and fleet professionals, in collaboration with Smart Drive – a leading, global provider of fleet management solutions. The new interactive game focuses on the issue of driver distraction, taking users through a virtual drive where they are tasked with identifying many of the distractions that drivers are exposed to on a daily basis. Important advice and guidance is provided throughout the game highlighting the risks associated  with each identified distraction and what drivers can do to minimise the risk of being affected by them. It is available free of charge to all Brake Professional members through our website. Non-members can order it from the Brake shop or join Brake Professional to access this and other resources.
