In addition to keeping you in line with key HSE guidance on re-assessment, Virtual Risk Manager – FLT has a number of important everyday uses…

Check new staff

New staff – especially those recruited on a casual basis or from an agency – tend to start at the busiest times, making it doubly inconvenient to spend valuable staff time and truck capacity verifying their suitability… But the consequences of using an operator without the right knowledge, attitude or skills can be catastrophic.

Virtual Risk Manager – FLT can give an almost instant profile of a new or potential operator, before you allow them into a truck… or even finalise your selection and recruitment.



Better appraisals and post incident investigation

Any subjective discussion about skills-based activities can lead to disagreement, and even confrontation. Virtual Risk Manager – FLT is an objective benchmark that can help to reduce the level of such dispute, forming part of a constructive, forward-looking appraisal or other discussion, allowing management to focus on the issues that really matter.

Assign work

Larger companies will find the Management Information System especially valuable in ranking their operators for certain tasks… enabling you to improve your risk assessments by allocating the most difficult tasks to the safest and most competent operators.
