Seminar

Seminar: Crisis management

24 February 2021

10am - 12.30pm GMT

Online

Run in conjunction with DAC Beachcroft

This is a paid event. Registration costs £30.

Driving is one of the most dangerous activities you ask your employees to do. The impact of a fatal or serious road crash involving one of your vehicles – on your organisation, employees and the victims – cannot be understated. Good crisis management after a crash can help reduce the trauma experienced by employees and victims, and limit damage to your organisation. This seminar will help you understand how to respond to serious road crashes in an effective, timely and compassionate manner.

This training course for fleet and HR managers is about how an organisation can provide support after a road crash or other sudden, violent event. The training covers:

  • How fleet managers should approach crisis management
  • What an effective crisis management strategy should include
  • What complications can arise following a road crash
  • The role of your criminal defence and transport regulatory solicitors
  • The involvement of the enforcement authorities
  • Safeguarding staff and caring for others
  • How to plan and write a Crisis Management Policy and the importance of stress-testing your policy.
