Fleet Risk Management
Protect your company, drivers and vehicles while on the

How We Help
Driver Selection, Training & Incentives
Fleet safety begins with good drivers. Get advice on and access to providers for background checks,
drug and alcohol screenings and Department of Transportation (DOT) driver qualifications.
Implement a training program (in-class or virtual) that addresses distracted driving, driver fatigue,
accident reporting and more in order to improve overall safety and awareness of employees on the
road.
Evaluate and improve driver performance, as well as motivate driver safety within your company with
accountability and incentives. Our fleet risk consultants can partner with you to create a tailored plan to
do so.

What are You Doing About Your Fleet Risk?
You don't have to be in long haul trucking to be open to fleet risk. If you have company vehicles and
drivers, you are open to accidents and the misfortune that follows them.
Potential Risks a Fleet May Face
Every day, more and more companies dedicate resources and find strategies to mitigate the risks that
their fleets face. Running a fleet for small and large businesses alike poses several risks for the fleet
driver, the company, and the general public at large. In addition, most companies rely upon significant investment in
transport assets to contribute to bottom-line profit. Without their fleet, most companies would not be able to operate.
Complying with road and transport legislation does not always guarantee optimum levels of safety, and legal compliance should only be
regarded as the minimum safety standard. Best Practice should be your goal, and Zurich’s Risk Engineers can help you achieve that.

Fleet Risk Management
Assets like vehicles and equipment are dangerous and present an inherent risk for fleets.
These fleet risks aren’t limited to certain industries such as construction or heavy haul
trucking either.
Regardless of the service your fleet provides, managing fleet risk will not only give you
peace of mind but will keep your fleet running without incurring costly fines for violating
regulations or accident liability.
Promoting fleet driver safety, remaining in compliance and adhering to regulations are
practices that will save you the headache and expense
Running a compliant fleet poses challenges – there’s a legal minefield to navigate
and risk assessment needs to fill, however, most importantly you need to understand
what is expected of you, and what need to be done to meet those all-important
management obligations.
