It\u2019s been a turbulent year for many businesses,\u00a0<\/span>with C<\/span>ovid<\/span>-19 affecting the fleet industry in ways never seen before. N<\/span>ow, with the pandemic firmly in the rearview mirror,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>it\u2019s time to prepare\u00a0<\/span>for your fleet to be at full capacity again.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are our tips <\/span>for keeping the health and safety of your assets and drivers in top condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep your workers safe<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With workers sharing spaces and <\/span>using\u00a0<\/span>shared\u00a0<\/span>asset<\/span>s<\/span>, it\u2019s vital that you\u00a0<\/span>implement\u00a0<\/span>proper health and safety protocols in line with the government\u2019s advice.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following new rules such as physical distancing can make business less efficient if your don’t have a solid strategy in place. R<\/span>educe disruption to your business and keep things running efficiently by considering things like risk assessments,\u00a0<\/span>sanitising vehicles <\/span>and<\/span> providing appropriate PPE.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure\u00a0<\/span><\/b>your<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>assets<\/span><\/b> are always ready<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The pressure for fleet managers to reduce costs and keep\u00a0<\/span>assets in a safe, useable condition<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is at an all-time high.\u00a0<\/span>From delivery vehicles\u00a0<\/span>and company cars t<\/span>o\u00a0<\/span>heavy machinery<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and other vital\u00a0<\/span>equipment<\/span>, many\u00a0<\/span>of your assets may<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>have been out of action over the past year.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Scheduling regular maintenance checks and<\/span> ensuring vehicles have had batteries, tyres and fluid levels checked before they\u2019re set to be used again will go a long way to prevent issues further down the line.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prepare\u00a0<\/span><\/b>your drivers<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your employees have been working from home, it\u2019s well worth taking some time to make sure they\u2019re ready to <\/span>work at full capacity again.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep everything running smoothly by c<\/span>hecking\u00a0<\/span>if<\/span>\u00a0you need to refresh any driver training with your\u00a0<\/span>workers<\/span>\u00a0and<\/span> making sure they\u2019re fully informed about workplace health and safety protocols<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to make it clear to your workers that they must stay\u00a0<\/span>at\u00a0<\/span>home if they feel unwell.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bear in mind that there\u00a0<\/span>will be more potential for drivers to take<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>time off, whether that\u2019s for their C<\/span>ovid<\/span>\u00a0vaccinations or\u00a0<\/span>for\u00a0<\/span>self-isolation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>So<\/span>\u00a0it\u2019s a good idea to\u00a0<\/span>plan ahead<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span>\u00a0ensure you have enough drivers to cover shifts for those who are unable to work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Consider road safety<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With <\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0shift towards online shopping over the past\u00a0<\/span>12-months,<\/span> there’s more traffic around than ever before<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With this increased volume comes an increased potential for accidents. Ensuring your drivers are up to date with any\u00a0<\/span>safety<\/span>\u00a0training and keeping assets well maintained is vital to help avoid this.<\/span>\u00a0It\u2019s also worth considering what travel is essential<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0to make sure you\u2019re only sending drivers out when you absolutely need to.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

R<\/span>emind your drivers to take regular breaks when they\u2019re on the road\u00a0<\/span>to avoid them be<\/span>coming<\/span>\u00a0tired or\u00a0<\/span>distracted<\/span>\u00a0while they\u2019re working, especially while they\u2019re getting back into their working routine.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Following these tips will help you\u00a0<\/span>to\u00a0<\/span>get your fleet ready for a busy year ahead.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
