Introducing Drivex!

Drivex is an Island based business specialising in helping our clients manage their ‘occupational road risk’

What is occupational road risk I hear you say?

When a business or other organisation has staff who have to drive as part of their role, the risk associated with their road journeys comes under the employer’s responsibility as well as that of the individual driver. The employer has a legal responsibility to take steps to ‘manage’ that risk.

We work with our clients in a number of ways, such as:

Reviewing their current Occupational Road Risk position

Ensuring company’s ‘Driving at Work Policy’ is robust.

Providing driver profiling risk assessments – many businesses only check employees licences (and some don’t even do this). This is not sufficient in terms of carrying out a Risk Assessment (a legal requirement under the ‘Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999′ Over 80% of road crashes are caused by driver error, so the duty of care required of the employer should include driver assessments as part of their overall management of work-related road safety.

We provide driver training, with courses suited to each client’s needs. The most common courses we provide are:

• Defensive driving
• Eco-safe driving
• Skid control
• Trailer training and testing
• Speed awareness
• UK familiarisation
• Vehicle familiarisation
• Post incident training

Why use us?

The benefit of using Drivex is that you only use us when you need us, making your management of occupational road risk far more efficient and cost effective. For example, by using our driver profiling facility you can ‘risk assess’ 12 drivers for the price of 2 if this was to be done in-vehicle, plus they only need to take 30 minutes out of their day to complete each profile – bargain!
