The Corporate Manslaughter legislation which came into effect in April 2008 will see organisations being found guilty of corporate manslaughter if a death is caused by a gross breach of their care of duty due to substantial senior management failure. This is a fundamental part of what is commonly called a Duty of Care policy. All companies who allow their employees to drive on company business, either using their own car or one provided by the company should have a robust policy in place.

As an independent fleet management company we help organisations address Duty of Care from the perspective of making it as straight forward as possible for a fleet manager to implement, monitor and maintain their company’s policy and procedures. Our purpose built programme called Venson SafeGuard promotes a safe driving culture and can help protect you and your company from prosecution in the event of a road accident involving a member of staff. Venson SafeGuard encompasses five key areas; Licence checking, Cash for Car Risk Management, Fleet Risk Assessment, Driver Training and Legislative Compliance. We work in partnership with AA DriveTech in delivering a number of these SafeGuard solutions.
