A. The driver – the center of a driver risk management program – represents many critical factors of fleet risk management. All new applicant screening must include the driving history record as well as questions addressing driver attitudes and skills, even if the employee's primary job is not driving (i.e. sales, repair, etc.). In addition, a strong orientation program is critical and it should thoroughly review driver safety policies, up-to-date driver handbooks, and performance expectations.
It's also important to consider driver health and wellbeing, with mechanisms in place to regularly check in on issues like fatigue, alcohol or drug use, and eyesight to ensure drivers are in the appropriate state of health to be behind the wheel.
