A full 90-minute on-road assessment per driver, over a route long enough to reveal habitual driving rather than best behaviour.
Every report scores 14 competency categories with narrative commentary and recommended actions.
One consistent classification, so an entire fleet can be triaged and intervention directed where it counts.
Assessors based across eight UK regions, delivering at your sites and to your schedule.
Why occupational road risk is one of the biggest business risks
Outside heavy industry, driving is the most hazardous activity employees undertake on their employer’s behalf, and the one least likely to be properly represented on the risk register. It takes place off-site, unsupervised, at speed, in traffic no employer controls.
Typical baseline fleet
Indicative distribution across first-time fleet-wide assessments. It is the size of the high-risk group that most organisations find unexpected.
Highest-risk activity
Road collisions
For most non-industrial employers, driving is the most hazardous activity their employees undertake at work. It carries a fatality risk profile unlike anything else on a conventional office-based risk register.
Premium & excess exposure
Insurance costs
Claims frequency drives renewal pricing harder than claims value. A recurring pattern of minor at-fault damage can cost more across a three-year period than one substantial loss.
Lost productive days
Vehicle downtime
A damaged van is never only a repair bill. It is a hire vehicle, a re-planned schedule, unbilled work and a technician who cannot reach the customer.
Duty of care
Employee wellbeing
Drivers involved in collisions can experience lasting anxiety about driving. Fatigue, time pressure and unrealistic scheduling are foreseeable contributors an employer can control.
Visible on every road
Corporate reputation
Liveried vehicles advertise in both directions. Poor driving in a branded van is witnessed by customers, prospects and procurement panels alike.
Driving for work
Legal responsibilities
Health and safety law applies to work-related driving as it does to any other work activity. Employers are expected to assess and manage the risk, and to be able to show how.
Every one of these exposures responds to the same intervention: establishing which of your drivers carry the most risk, then acting on that specifically.
Your legal responsibilitiesSix services. One measurable risk framework.
Every engagement starts with measurement and ends with evidence. Services can be delivered individually or combined into a rolling annual fleet programme with consolidated reporting.
A driving instructor teaches people to pass a test.
We reduce your corporate risk exposure.
Both hold professional qualifications. Only one produces something your health and safety committee, your insurer and your auditor can use.
For comparison
Traditional driving instructor
Built around passing the test
Learner-focused syllabus
A syllabus written for novice drivers, not for occupational road risk.
No fleet reporting
Spoken feedback to the driver; nothing for the manager or the driver file.
Limited compliance knowledge
Rarely familiar with driving-for-work duties or HSE guidance.
One-off lessons
No baseline, no re-score, no way to evidence improvement.
Single-area availability
Local coverage only, which is impractical for a geographically dispersed workforce.
Dual-control school car
Not the vehicle, the load or the roads on which the employee does the job.
The Foresight standard
Foresight Fleet Solutions
Built for the fleet risk register
Fleet specialists
Occupational road risk is our entire practice, not an adjunct to something else.
Professional risk reporting
Written management reports with scored categories and clear actions.
Occupational road safety focus
Driver, vehicle and journey risk assessed as one system.
Corporate account management
A named contact, agreed SLAs, consolidated invoicing and MI.
Scalable nationwide delivery
Assessors across eight UK regions delivering to one standard.
Assessed in the work vehicle
The driver’s own van or car, own base, own typical route.
Built for organisations whose people drive to do their job
Different sectors carry different road risk profiles. A community carer making fourteen visits a day faces a different set of hazards from a technician working the strategic road network, and the assessment weighting reflects that.
Engineering
Multi-site field engineers covering wide territories in liveried vans.
Construction
Site-to-site travel, tool-laden vehicles and early starts.
Utilities
Emergency response driving, rural networks and 24/7 rotas.
Facilities Management
Dense urban routing with frequent stops and kerbside manoeuvring.
Housing Associations
Repairs teams on estates with tight access and pedestrian risk.
Care Providers
Community carers driving between visits under time pressure.
Telecommunications
Network technicians with roof racks, ladders and long shifts.
Field Service Businesses
Mobile technicians measured on jobs completed per day.
Logistics
Van and 3.5t operations with high daily mileage and delivery density.
Local Authorities
Mixed pool, grey and specialist fleets with public scrutiny.
From first conversation to evidenced improvement
A repeatable five-stage cycle. Stages one to four typically complete within three weeks of a driver being scheduled; stage five is where measured risk reduction is delivered.

Rolling programme
Supporting your driving for work responsibilities
Employers have responsibilities to manage the risks created by work-related driving. Our role is to give you the driver-side evidence — assessed, scored and documented — that a credible risk management approach requires.
Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
Sets the general duty on employers to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of employees at work, including while they are driving for work.
Management of H&S at Work Regulations 1999
Require employers to carry out suitable and sufficient risk assessment of work activities. Work-related driving is a work activity like any other.
HSE Driving for Work guidance
HSE guidance frames work-related road risk around three areas: the driver, the vehicle and the journey. Our assessment framework mirrors that structure.
Duty of care to your drivers
Covers employees in company vehicles and grey-fleet drivers using their own vehicle for work — a group frequently left outside the fleet risk register.
Driver assessments and training form one part of a wider fleet risk management strategy. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice; for advice on your specific duties, consult a qualified health and safety or legal professional.
Programmes that moved the numbers
Three representative programmes showing what measurement, targeted development and re-scoring change. Organisations are described by sector rather than named, and the figures are illustrative placeholders.
What fleet, safety and operations leaders tell us
Feedback of the kind gathered at client programme reviews, from the three roles that own fleet risk: fleet management, operations and health & safety.
“The written reports are the difference. Our previous provider gave the driver a chat and us nothing. Now every driver has a scored report on file and I can walk into an audit with it.”
“We assessed 62 engineers across four depots in under three months without losing a single scheduled job. The scheduling was handled around our diary, not theirs.”
“The Low, Medium, High classification changed the conversation with our board. Twenty-nine per cent of our drivers were High risk. That number got the training budget approved in one meeting.”
“What I appreciated was the tone. Our engineers are experienced people and they would have rejected anything that felt like a driving lesson. This felt like a professional review, and they took it seriously.”
“We used the post-incident assessment for a driver returning after a serious collision. It gave HR and me a documented recommendation instead of a judgement call. That was worth a great deal to us.”
“Our broker specifically asked what we were doing about driver risk at renewal. Handing over the fleet summary report and the development records was the most useful ten minutes of that meeting.”
Names, job titles and organisations shown here are illustrative placeholders created for this site rather than named client references.
Questions fleet managers ask before they commit
Not covered here? Send the question across directly and we will answer it plainly, with no sales call attached.
Ask a question →Each Fleet Driver Risk Assessment is 90 minutes on-road, plus roughly 20 minutes for the licence and eyesight check, walkaround observation and end-of-drive debrief. Allow around two hours of the driver’s day in total. We do not shorten it, and that is deliberate: a 30-minute drive reveals how someone performs while being observed, not how they habitually drive.
Every driver receives a written report covering 14 scored competency categories, an overall Low, Medium or High risk classification, narrative commentary from the assessor, specific recommended actions and a suggested re-assessment interval. Alongside the individual reports, managers receive a fleet summary showing the risk distribution across the cohort and the dominant themes. Reports are delivered digitally within five working days.
Yes, and it is our default. The assessor travels to the driver’s normal base, uses the driver’s own work vehicle and builds a route from the roads that driver covers day to day. It removes travel time for your team and produces a far more realistic assessment than a neutral vehicle on unfamiliar roads.
Yes. We deliver across eight UK regions: London and the South East, South West and Wales, the Midlands, the East of England, the North West, Yorkshire and the North East, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Multi-site fleets are delivered to a single standard with one point of contact and consolidated reporting, so a driver in Aberdeen is assessed and scored exactly as a driver in Bristol.
Yes. We assess company cars, car-derived vans, panel vans and 3.5 tonne vehicles, plus grey-fleet drivers using their own vehicles for work. Where a driver operates more than one vehicle type we will normally assess in the one they spend most of their working time in, and note the other in the report.
Most clients start with a fleet-wide baseline and then move onto a rolling programme: new starters assessed at induction, Medium and High risk drivers into development and re-scored, and everyone else on an annual or biennial review cycle. You get a named account manager, an agreed schedule, quarterly management information and consolidated invoicing.
