With commercial fleet operations, ensuring driver safety and compliance with health and safety regulations is not just a legal obligation but also responsible business practice. At Beyond Driving, we specialise in conducting thorough driving risk assessments, recently exemplified by our Advanced Driving and Assessment driving course delivered to the staff at Camfaud in Epping, Essex. This course, complete with Lantra certification, is a testament to our commitment to bringing nationally recognised certification to our training across all vehicle categories.
The Importance of Driving Risk Assessment in Fleet Management
Driving risk assessment is an integral component of fleet management that serves multiple critical functions from enhancing safety to reducing operational costs. For businesses like Camfaud, which operates an extensive and specialist fleet that includes boom pumps, line pumps, and stationary placing booms across a network of over 30 national locations, managing driving risks is particularly crucial. These assessments help in identifying potential risks associated with fleet operations and in developing strategies to mitigate them effectively.

Case Study: Advanced Driving and Assessment at Camfaud
Our recent project with Camfaud in Epping is a prime example of how targeted training and assessment can benefit a company with a complex fleet. Given the variety of heavy machinery operated by Camfaud and the diverse locations they service, customizing the training to meet their specific needs was paramount. This bespoke approach ensures that every driver is capable of handling their specific vehicle type under various operational conditions.
Lantra Certification: A Mark of Quality
The training provided to Camfaud included preparation for Lantra certification, one of the UK’s leading accrediting bodies for land-based industries. This certification is not merely a formal endorsement but a comprehensive evaluation that ensures adherence to the highest standards of safety and competency in fleet operations.
