Innovation Group is pleased to announce its partnership with Fleetcoach to offer an interactive driver coaching programme designed to proactively help organisations reduce the risk of accidents for their fleet vehicles.
Fleetcoach is a practical, online coaching programme that’s based on research into the skills and attitudes that keep drivers safe on the road. Using video-based simulations taken from Australian roads, the programme is designed to reduce unsafe driving behaviours by training drivers in the essential skills such as hazard perception and situation awareness.
Fleetcoach is a product of more than 20 years’ worth of internationally published research. The team have spent more than 10 years using this research to educate and coach drivers to be safer road users.
Craig Cockerton, Chief Operating Officer at Fleetcoach says “Work-related crashes account for 1 in 3 occupational fatalities in Australia. This alarming rate relates directly to risky driving behaviour. Our clients use Fleetcoach to improve their people’s higher-level driving skills, to really make them safer on the road and show their commitment to a strong Health and Safety culture. ”
The online driver coaching program will expand Innovation Group’s suite of risk mitigation services aimed at helping organisations manage the risks associated with workplace driving.
Tony Brand, Fleet Services General Manager at Innovation Group says “It’s important we continue to develop new and engaging strategies for drivers to avoid taking risk whilst driving. With Fleetcoach, we can help our customers improve driver safety and prevent costly collisions with the latest interactive technology. We’re excited for this collaboration.”
Innovation Group combines leading analytics, technical expertise, and sophisticated technology to help fleet management companies achieve maximum fleet efficiency and meet duty-of-care obligations.
