DVSA and Fleet Risk Management

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), launched the Voluntary Registration Scheme for Fleet Driver Trainers on 22 April 2002. The Government’s Road Safety Strategy: Tomorrow’s Roads – Safer for Everyone announced that DVSA would introduce such a scheme to set standards for instructors who specialise in providing this type of training, and help raise the profile of the training on offer to Fleet driver and their employers. It would be part of the Agency’s wider role in improving road safety by ensuring higher standards of instruction for different types of driver and rider – in particular, modernising the qualification and registration arrangements for all classes of professional driving and riding instruction. The registration scheme should be seen in the wider context of efforts to improve work-related road safety announced in the Strategy. Most fleet training organisations require a Fleet Badge in order to work with them, to show a knowledge and understanding of full-licence-holder risk management and the context of the sector. Indeed this requires a different and flexible range of skills from an experienced ADI.
