New and novice van drivers
New and novice van drivers are statistically more likely to be involved in collisions than their experienced counterparts and for many organisations, this hidden risk gap is growing. At this session, Mark Cartwright and Alasdair Hayman-Start will share information around a new guide that is in development and being created to help businesses bring new drivers safely and confidently into van operations.
The guide distils expert insight into clear, actionable steps that organisations can take to reduce collision risk, support skill development, and ensure new drivers are fully prepared for the realities of operating larger vehicles. From onboarding and training to vehicle familiarisation and behaviour based safety, the guide provides a roadmap for bridging the experience gap before it leads to incidents.
Join this session to learn what’s inside the guide, why it matters, and how it can transform the way businesses manage and protect their newest drivers.
