Managing driver activity
FTA ran a series of free member briefings across the UK during June and July 2008. The key focus of the sessions was on managing driver activity. Each briefing covered:
- your duty of care linked to driver fatigue
- where driver activity infringements are occurring
- where driver activity monitoring systems are breaking down
- understanding what data is telling you in terms of compliance risk
- penalty risks when operators get it wrong
- drivers activity management cycle: record, analyse, act
Managing driver competence
In spring 2008, FTA ran a series of 14 free briefings for members at different venues around the UK. The briefings focused on helping members to prepare for the introduction of Driver CPC for all new drivers acquiring either a pcv licence (from September 2008) or lgv licence (from September 2009). Advice was provided on training new drivers in accordance with Driver CPC rules as well as the requirements for existing licence holders. The session included a full rundown of Driver CPC, actions for operators, training options and how FTA can help. Please see the attached presentation slides and briefing notes for further information.
