Fleet Management		 MORR - Managing Occupational Road Risk
 

FREE Compliance Assessment!

Managing Occupational Road Risk™

Self-assess your Managing Occupational Road Risk performance and take advantage of free (optional) telephone advice!

This new free online service is designed to help organisations carry out an initial assessment of their compliance status and areas of subsequent risk. Via a series of tick-box questions, the self-assessment survey identifies key areas that may require attention.

What are the benefits?
Completing the assessment will provide a valuable insight into your organisation’s current status. Then if further assistance is required, you can press ‘submit’, and a RoSPA specialist will contact you in order to discuss the information that you have submitted and to use this as a basis for making further recommendations.
