• Systems resulting from the programme protect against liability with Corporate Manslaughter
• Improved staff morale and sense of employee self worth
• Improved insurance terms
• A degree of protection against the negative publicity consequences of a fatality involving an employee
• Reduced cost of vehicle fleet operation: Reduced direct repair cost
• Reduced insurance costs
• Reduced fuel consumption
• Reduced tyre wear and other consumables
• Reduced vehicle downtime/hire car costs
