Driving for Better Business (DfBB) is launching a free driver app and management portal to provide a robust way for employers to safely get drivers and vehicles ready for the road again after the COVID-19 lockdown.
It looks at how to put vehicles that haven’t been used for many weeks back on the road and gives guidance for drivers who will be coming back to a different environment; the app then sends the completed checks to a management portal where the employer can manage vehicle maintenance and communicate changes in policy. The management portal also includes links to the latest government guidance relating to vehicles during COVID-19, as well as resources exclusively created for the DfBB COVID-19 Transport Toolkit.
Key features include:
- Elimination of paper checklists
- Thorough digital safety check for mothballed vehicles
- ‘Fit to drive’ driver declaration
- Essential driver support information
- Daily vehicle sanitisation checklist
- Cloud-based manager dashboard to monitor compliance
