ONLINE DRIVER TRAINING FOR FLEETS

SAVE MONEY • SAVE HASSLE • SAVE LIVES

A reduction in crashes attributable to implementation of SharpDrive’s training system of 10% to 20% could be expected – a saving of $250 to $500 per vehicle per year. Independent Business Case on SharpDrive implementation.

SharpDrive is proven to drastically reduce crash rates.

Since commercial drivers are on the road for twice as long as

everyone else, it’s not surprising that 50% of all crashes are

work related.

By reducing the number of road incidents your people are

involved in, you’ll be saving on legal costs and fines, sick pay,

production delays, damage to your reputation and insurance

costs. You’ll also be setting the standard for commercial

drivers, and helping to make Australian roads safer for

everyone.

“SharpDrive Online training has been key in our overall Driver

Safety Programme and since introducing online training and a number of other strategies our accident rate has dropped 18.6% in one year.

JENNY SEDDON, Business Services Manager, Plunket [N.Z.]

SharpDrive is an engaging online driver training system that will help improve your people’s knowledge of and attitude to driving.

The short, interactive programme is a proactive way you can help keep your business and your drivers safe.

As an employer, you have a legal responsibility to

ensure your people have been trained, informed, and

any risks/hazards associated with their workplace

and job are mitigated. If your employees drive a

vehicle for work related purposes, it is deemed a

‘workplace’ regardless of vehicle ownership.

SharpDrive is a simple, cost-effective way to provide

a duty of care to your drivers, without paying for

expensive classroom based courses or losing days of

productivity.

SharpDrive provides expert and effective driver

training for your fleet.

“During our two years with

SharpDrive nearly 300 employees have completed the SD101 course. We would highly recommend SharpDrive to any companies who wish their staff to be as safe as possible on our roads both in and outside of work while”learning in a fun environment.”

CHRIS NEAL, HSEQ coordinator, PowerCo [N.Z.]

Investing in SharpDrive driver training programmes can

generate significant savings on insurance, fleet running

costs and employee productivity.

Insurance – Lowering your crash rate can create

significant savings in your insurance premiums.

Furthermore, studies show the true cost of vehicle

crashes including indirect costs are up to five times the

cost of a direct insurance claim.

Fuel savings – The SharpDrive Economy Driving module

developed by expert driver trainer Graham Sharp, is

focused on fuel efficient driving techniques. Graham’s

career highlights include a 24 hour distance driving

world record and winning the 2006 EECA Energywise

Rally Driver Award.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY

REDUCE YOUR FLEET RUNNING COSTS✓ ✓

Safer driving is about education, awareness and attitude

as much as is about actually operating a vehicle. Things

like spotting potential hazards early and making better,

safer driving decisions can be taught without getting

behind the wheel.

SharpDrive works to improve the attitudes and awareness of

your drivers. Each module comes with a set of educational

videos and multi-choice tests on everything from driver

responsibility and the road rules, to hazards and risk

reduction.

Because the system is accessible online, your staff can

logon simply and easily from their computers. It means they

can greatly reduce their risk of being involved in an accident,

just by taking a few minutes out of their day to work through

the course.
