New Covid-19 safety guide published for fleets
A new guide based on government advice has been produced to help fleets return to work safely.
The three-page guide, COVID-19: A two-step guide to vehicle safety principles, has been produced by Arval UK.
Head of consultancy Shaun Sadlier said: “The document delivered by the government provides a strong basis for future fleet risk management of Covid-19 for businesses that operate company cars and vans. The content makes a lot of sense.
“However, it’s a lengthy document and we’ve created an abridged version that includes all of the relevant principles and ideas, but in a format that is faster and easier for fleet decision makers to use on a day-to-day basis.
“The fact is that some industries are going through the process of returning to work very quickly and we are keen to provide ways of making this as easy – and safe – as possible for our customers. The new guide very much fits in with that thinking.”
He continued: “Taking the official guidance and the ideas that have been developed by the industry itself, we now have a framework that can be used as a yardstick across the sector, which is obviously crucial as a widespread process of returning to work begins.”
