Northgate Safe Driver was developed in response to a customer survey Northgate carried out late in 2021, which defined the key priorities of its van customers. Companies put drivers first, with wellbeing, safety, compliance listed as their top three priorities, followed by business cost savings.
Northgate Safe Driver offers training for both fleets and their drivers on the best ways to reduce on-road risks, with a full suite of training options available including e-learning modules, on-road training, driver workshops and even virtual learning environments.
A four-stage driver risk-assessment program integrates with the training package to recommend the correct courses for a company’s needs, all of which meet the ISO: 39001 road traffic safety (RTS) management standard.
It also has the additional ability to perform grey fleet checks on the insurance, tax, and MOT status of employee-owned vehicles used for business purposes, a commonplace area of risk for fleets. This is supported by an online driver licence checking portal which helps ensure drivers are all compliant.
All training activity and results are then fed into a centralised reporting system.
