Your Grey Fleet
If your employees use their own cars for work this is your Grey Fleet
Companies that don’t manage their Grey Fleet are risking severe penalties – even imprisonment.
Changes to the Health and Safety at Work Act in 2009 mean that both drivers and management can be prosecuted for incidents involving work-related journeys, even if the driver is using their own vehicle.
Businesses that offer cash alternatives to staff rather than company vehicles, may mistakenly believe the responsibility for those private vehicles rests with the driver and not the company.
To avoid the possibility of prosecution, it is essential to include these private vehicles and their drivers in the overall company vehicle policy and operation, and to pro-actively manage the situation. All directors and business owners are recommended to find out more about this.
