Axa Commercial is offering customers a free online health check to identify issues and signpost resources to fill knowledge gaps.

The online health check can be completed on a mobile phone or tablet and features around 30 simple questions covering key health and safety and compliance issues related to occupational road risk.

The check provides an overall score together with individual ratings for sections on driver management, in-vehicle technology and policies and procedures. Any gaps in knowledge are highlighted and Axa’s in-house and partner tools are signposted to help customers improve their risk management strategies.

Doug Jenkins, motor technical risk manager, Axa Commercial, said: “There are lots of small things our customers could be doing for very little cost, or in some cases no cost at all, that could significantly improve the safety of their fleet. The end result could be fewer accidents and that’s better for everyone.

“This isn’t designed to be punitive or onerous, the aim is to provide customers with valuable guidance that can benefit their businesses. There are no consequences of completing the health check, it has no impact on their insurance and isn’t compulsory.”

The online health check, provided in association with Fleet Risk Review, explains to customers why managing risk is important, why specific questions are being asked and why they should be putting safety in place such as checking drivers’ licences and issuing employees with driver handbooks.
