Our next webinar will focus on crisis management The impact of a fatal or serious road crash involving a fleet vehicle upon an organisation, employees and the victims cannot be understated; and mismanagement of the aftermath by an organisation can cause a huge amount of trauma. To learn how to respond to these incidents in an effective, timely and compassionate manner, attend our next free crisis management webinar at 2PM (GMT) on 26 February 2019.

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 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 associated risks. 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.
