Cardinus Risk Management has announced its predictions for the new year, including how it sees fleet safety, driver training and occupational road risk in 2011.

At-work driving will continue to be an essential part of doing good business next year and Cardinus expects to see the demand for its driver training services to continue to rise, according to a senior director.

Marcus Noble, Managing Director – fleet at Cardinus, said, “Even though we expect to see further cuts in the public sector, we believe that this will be offset by an increase in activity in the private sector. At-work driving will remain an essential requirement and as such demand for accident reduction, risk management and effective driver training will continue to grow overall. Outsourced management of the fleet risk will account for a significant proportion of this growth as organisations look to providers like us to take their drivers through the journey of completing document checking, risk assessments and appropriate training.

"The case for saving money will be as compelling as the case for compliance and we will continue to educate organisations in the cost benefits of a well-managed occupational road risk programme.

"Those responsible for fleet management in 2011 will have a greater need for specialist advice as road traffic and health and safety law continues to change."

Companies wishing to improve fleet safety and save money through effective driver training should look to established companies with proven expertise and a trusted reputation.
