First Aid
Although the main aim of fleet safety is to reduce the potential of an incident occurring, providing training in first aid can be invaluable in the improvement of fleet safety, as a driver will be more able to reduce the seriousness of any injuries caused by an incident.
It is recommended that a recognised practitioner carry out first aid training.
In addition, there are a range of leaflets and manuals available to organisations which can help them improve the First Aid Awareness of staff members.
Additionally, ensure that each vehicle used for work-purposes is equipped with a first aid box. At the same time, supply a stock list for the first aid box and put a system in place to ensure that the contents of the first aid box match the stock list.
