Our team at Beyond Driving has been busy conducting thorough driving assessments for National Grid in Ludlow and Worcester, helping them maintain high standards of safety and efficiency across their workforce. We offer our driving assessment services nationwide for any vehicle category, ensuring that companies across the UK can easily manage their occupational road risk and support their drivers with expert, on-the-job guidance.
Why Opt for Our Driving Assessment Course?
With qualified instructors located throughout the UK, our driving assessments are designed for maximum convenience and impact, taking place at the workplace with real-time feedback on actual driving habits. We start with a tailored driver questionnaire, gathering details about each driver’s typical routes, work practices, and driving history to pinpoint areas that might carry a higher risk.
This initial step is followed by an in-depth, on-road practical assessment. During this session, our instructors closely observe each driver’s habits, attitudes, and behaviours behind the wheel. Not only do we focus on safety techniques, but we also look at how drivers can adopt more fuel-efficient practices to reduce emissions and operating costs—a timely focus given today’s cost-of-living pressures. After each assessment, we compile a detailed report with recommendations tailored to your company’s specific needs.
Report and Recommendations
Once the assessment is complete, you’ll receive a comprehensive report covering all findings, including any present risks associated with individual drivers or broader company practices. We’ll recommend actionable next steps, whether it’s additional training for certain drivers or the implementation of company-wide policies to improve road safety. This helps companies address occupational road risks proactively and promote a culture of safe, efficient driving.
Course Target Audience
Our assessments are suitable for any employees who drive as part of their job, and we recommend them in a variety of scenarios. During the hiring process, for example, we can assess up to six drivers daily per assessor, while for new employees expected to drive, we can conduct assessments and provide basic training for up to two drivers each day. When drivers switch to a new vehicle, our team can also deliver assessments and training for up to four drivers per day. Finally, we suggest periodic assessments for all drivers to support ongoing road risk management, with up to four drivers assessed daily and provided with top-up training.
What’s Covered in Each Assessment?
Each assessment encompasses a series of steps, from interviewing each employee to better understand their driving practices, to conducting practical, workplace-based assessments that reflect the specific demands of the company’s operations. These assessments are rounded out by a detailed evaluation of each driver’s safety skills and driving habits, followed by a comprehensive written report that includes both findings and recommendations. Our recommendations also include practical tips on how to reduce fuel and insurance costs through safer, more efficient driving practices.
Our assessments empower companies to mitigate risks and enhance the safety and efficiency of their drivers, whether they’re part of National Grid or any other industry with demanding driving requirements.
