Metworks

Statement from Joe Masters, Transport Manager

“Managing road risk is essential because as a fleet manager your worst-case scenario is a fatality. Even if it was not our driver’s fault, if we hadn’t done everything in our power to prevent it, I’m not sure I could live with that.“

National Highways

“This decarbonisation journey is very important to us because it links into the organisation’s overall carbon strategy. However, it’s also a chance for us to show how we are always improving what we do. Our fleet are the unsung heroes of the strategic road network, and we work extremely hard to make sure they can work efficiently, safely and reliably. Since we switched to hybrids we have definitely had a more resilient fleet, and that translates to better service.“

Driving is recognised as one of the most hazardous activities that many of us will do during our working lives. Managing and mitigating work-related road risks is of paramount importance to us – with an ongoing emphasis on driver training and on influencing road user behaviour in order to prevent accidents happening.

We’re always looking for ways to boost safety and enhance productivity, as well as introducing technology that allows us to enhance the driver and customer experience.

We recognise that health and safety measures need to be continually reviewed and updated to guarantee that we maintain the highest possible standard for our fleet and for anyone operating on behalf of Tarmac. Collaboration is key and we’re proud to be working with partners, such as Driving for Better Business, National Highways and Masternaut, to maximise opportunities and drive improvements in this area.”
