Standards committee

The Global Fleet Champions campaign is overseen by a standards committee comprising individuals with extensive experience in fleet safety management, either commercially as fleet operators or suppliers, or through academic or NGO work.

Mary Williams OBE

Chief Executive — Brake, the road safety charity

Global Fleet Champions is a campaign that anyone can join to stop deaths and injuries that are caused by vehicles being operated for work purposes. These deaths can be prevented through government action, through good policy that controls the management of organisations operating such vehicles on our roads, and by those organisations taking responsibility for safety and saying that they will put safety first. Safety is good business, it saves money as well as lives.

Stephanie Pratt

Director — NIOSH Center for Motor Vehicle Safety

Proactive management of work-related road risk should not be limited to high-income countries and large corporations. Indeed, the need to manage this significant risk is greater in low- and middle-income countries and smaller businesses that operate in regions where a strong road safety culture and regulatory environment are still developing. I applaud Brake for its commitment to sharing research-based best practices globally, and I look forward to working with the Standards Committee for Global Fleet Champions.

Emma MacLennan

Director — EASST (Eastern Alliance for Safe and Sustainable Transport)

Low and middle-income countries often have the poorest quality and most dangerous fleets – including public transport fleets, public service fleets and private commercial fleets. However where good fleet management is practised, it has been shown to have a strong impact on fleet safety, reducing the number and financial cost of collisions as well as the number of deaths and injuries. The Standards Committee will work to promote good fleet practice around the globe, including in countries currently facing some of the greatest challenges.

Robert Isler

Associate Professor — University of Waikato

Evidence-based fleet risk management plans change from ‘nice to have’ to ‘must have’ when responsible board directors ensure that they will never been known as being negligent when it comes to the safety of their employees. I am pleased to help contribute to the Standards committee defining and setting robust standards for fleet safety processes.

Rose van Steijn

Program Manager — Fleet Forum

Inclusion of road traffic crashes in the Sustainable Development Goals demonstrates that the global community recognizes the huge impact collisions have on people, businesses and the environment. Improving fleet safety through the use of standards and by applying best practices will support reducing risks in a systematic way.

Glen Ridgway

Divisional Director — Jacobs

Put simply ‘driving kills’. Driving is the riskiest task that we ask most of our employees to do and as such we have a moral and legal need to help reduce, manage or mitigate that risk. More than that though, at Jacobs we pride ourselves on our culture of caring and we encourage our people to take the safety lessons we learn at work and share them with family, friends and their wider community. By creating an environment at work where we have safe drivers, driving safe vehicles safely, we are having a positive effect on road safety for many more people. Something I am immensely proud to be part of.

Jason Finch

Project Manager — Transaid

Road safety is a global public health crisis. A disproportionate burden falls in Africa, where Transaid has a long history working on fleet safety.  We are delighted to support this important initiative.

Tracey Fuller

UK Head of CSR — BNP Paribas and Arval UK

Every year too many lives are lost on the world’s roads and many more are changed unimaginably forever. Companies cannot continue to neglect the safety of their drivers and other road users. Fleet operators must take ownership and responsibility for implementing and managing robust fleet safety processes for their drivers.

Mark Bromhall

Group Road Safety Manager — Royal Mail

Having spent many years handling insurance claims and dealing with the consequences of serious Road Traffic Collisions, I am passionate about reducing the suffering caused on our roads. Being a global fleet champion gives me the opportunity to influence standards and approaches beyond Royal Mail and help make the roads safer for everybody.

Andrew Drewary

Road Safety & Collision Analyst Consultant — Road Safety Smart

Fleet operators are being stretched more and more as they try to meet society’s insatiable demand of wanting everything now. This means operators are under pressure to meet demand or lose customers. Unfortunately, the effect of this is that more demand is put on fleet drivers to make deliveries as quickly as possible, which automatically creates more risk, not just for the drivers but for every other road user. Therefore, it is vitally important that fleet operators implement robust fleet safety processes and manage driver risk and not risky drivers. Failure to do so will only result in catastrophic or fatal consequences for all concerned.

Roseline Walker

Principal Safety and Risk Consultant — TRL

Driving is a high risk activity and probably one of the highest risks that employees encounter at work. Increasingly, organisations are putting measures in place to mitigate the risks associated with workplace transport but driving on public roads remains a relatively unmanaged ‘at work’ risk. The development of standards will highlight these risks and provide employers with the necessary guidance to implement measures to ensure risks are reduced as low as reasonably practicable.

John Hix

Director — FORS (Fleet Operators Recognition Scheme)

Active management of fleet safety and work related road risk means saving lives both in the workplace and of other road users. Safe operations are efficient ones, meaning the business reduces down-time, improves fuel efficiency and can re-invest in its drivers, vehicles and equipment. Safety and fleet performance therefore go hand in hand to the benefit of everybody involved.

Lisa Dorn

Associate Professor of Driver Behaviour — Cranfield University

Most fleet drivers make safe decisions when driving for work but research and fleet-based companies consistently report that a relatively small percentage of commercial drivers make up a significant percentage of the overall fleet crash risk. Fleet safety is a growing global problem and it is for this reason that I’m delighted to join the committee to help fleet companies develop safe management practices and behaviour-based safety interventions.

Andrew Price

Director — Fleet Safety Management

It is well known that work-related drivers have a significantly higher risk of being involved in a collision compared to other drivers, even after their typically higher mileage exposure has been taken into account. As such, anything that employers can do to manage the safety of these drivers, the journeys they make and the vehicles they use, will have a significant impact on the safety of all road users. The role of the committee to champion good practice and to set standards will help all organisations who have an appetite to manage fleet safety, and help make the roads safer. As such I’m delighted to be involved in this initiative.

Jim Golby

Director of Research and Customer Experience — Applied Driving Techniques

The safety and wellbeing of employees driving at work on company business is an ever-growing global issue. I have seen first-hand the significant human, financial and operational benefits which can be successfully achieved through effective work-related road risk (WRRR) management. It is for this reason that I’m delighted to be joining Brake’s new Global Fleet Champions Standards Committee to help support responsible organisations by sharing best practice and helping them to develop and implement robust and safer WRRR management practices across their own organisations around the world.

Nikki Skegg

National Manager SHEQ — Freight Transport Association

With the continual increase of vehicle use for work globally, the need to manage road risk and implement safe working practices is increasingly important; I am excited to be part of an initiative which aims to lead by example, sharing information and best practice and the intention of making roads safer for all users, everywhere.

Colin Snape

Deputy Director of Policy — Road Haulage Association

In a world of ever increasing demand on the Road Haulage Sector, operators and drivers are experiencing stress levels never before seen with the added issue of Congestion, causing further delays it is imperative we have safe systems of work and driver health programmes.

Alison Moriarty CMILT MICFM

Fleet Risk Director — DRiiVE consulting LTD

Keeping people safe on the roads has been my passions for over 15 years now. Having worked with many large commercial fleets, I understand the responsibility that we have to minimise the risk to everyone else who shares the space.

I am a huge advocate of Brake and am proud to have worked closely with them for many years. The unnecessary pain and loss caused by road death and serious injury, simply must be stopped and I am very excited to being a part of the Standards Committee for Global Fleet Champions and working collaboratively towards this aim.

Andrew Barratclough
