ProVision aims to provide insights on how commercial fleet operators can improve safety and reduce risk through the launch of its Fleet Risk Assessment Tool.

The free-of-charge online tool from the CameraMatics provider takes users through a number of questions designed to evaluate the risk posed to and by their fleet.

Once the questionnaire is complete, the user is given their risk rating and the option to download a report based on their results, which details the steps they can take to make their fleet safer.

Simon Murray, sales director of ProVision, said: “There are still a surprising number of fleet operators who are grossly unprepared and under-protected for incidents and accidents that may occur.

"They either have no vehicle camera systems installed or have opted for low cost, standalone dashcams that are unfit for the demands and rigours of commercial fleet use and have no remote access capabilities.

This leaves them exposed to insurance fraud, large claims, lawsuits and even prosecution.” 

Mervyn O’Callaghan, managing director of ProVision, added: “This tool really focuses on helping fleet operators understand the two key areas of exposure.

"The first is compliance and reporting; essentially being able to prove that your vehicles are roadworthy, your drivers are competent, and providing key video and tracking data if an incident occurs.

"The second is risk reduction, in the form of technologies that actively assist drivers to avoid accidents in the first place and protect the public and other road users.”

“We hope operators take on board the feedback from the survey, and use it to implement change."
