Comprehensive Duty of Care Compliance for Business Drivers
Autoserve’s Duty of Care service reminds and handles complex legal requirements for businesses and people who drive vehicles for them, ensuring compliance and allowing businesses to focus on operations.
If your vehicle is paid for by your employer either directly or indirectly, then they have under law a Duty of Care to you as the driver of that vehicle. Employers have a legal obligation to provide duty of care towards their employees and members of the public. Fleet operators, for instance, are just as liable as their drivers to face significant fines and even prison sentences in the event of a road collision.
Ensuring that your drivers and fleet vehicles are duty of care compliant, however, can be a minefield. There are a host of obligations and considerations – including vehicle maintenance, driving license checks and accident management.
The process can be time-consuming and daunting. Businesses face the prospect of losing vital time purely on admin, with mistakes potentially having devastating consequences. This is where Autoserve’s duty of care facility comes in. Our package is designed to handle as much of the duty of care process for you as required, whether it’s simply a question of checking vehicle insurance or ensuring compliance in general.
