Continuing its focus on risk management and safety practice in the fleet motor industry, QBE European Operations, the specialist business insurer, has partnered with the Government-backed ‘Driving for Better Business’ campaign, which is delivered by RoadSafe.
The campaign is intended to raise awareness of the importance of work-related road safety in the business community and public sector. The aim is for businesses to demonstrate to their peers the significant benefits that can be derived from safer employee driving.
QBE will be promoting the programme through its day-to-day discussions and activities with clients and recommending it to those that are practicing a high standard of motor fleet risk management.
Doug Jenkins, Motor Fleet Risk Manager, QBE European Operations, said of the new partnership: “With 14,000 road deaths and serious injuries involving people at work on the road each year, UK business needs to be aware of the simple measures that can help prevent accidents and their associated costs. At QBE, we see risk management as a fundamental part of our service and are proud to support the awareness raising efforts of this campaign to mitigate work-related road risks.”
Caroline Scurr, Campaign Director, Driving for Better Business, said: “QBE European Operations has been very successful in assisting their customers to reap the financial benefits of managing the employees who drive for work. We are delighted to have them as partners.”
