Small businesses, throughout Grampian, are set to benefit from a new road safety initiative by the North East Safety Camera Partnership (NESCAMP). The Partnership is offering free vehicle logbooks to any small firm in the area. The log books enable business owners to keep a track of vehicle use and stay within the law.
NESCAMP Manager, Chris Hume, said: “Under the terms of the Road Traffic Act 1988 business owners have a responsibility to know who is driving their vehicles at any time. Apart from this legal requirement it is good Health and Safety practice for both business owners and drivers to log details of all journeys.
We are offering this free tool for small businesses to use in their company vehicles. Drivers will also benefit from this initiative in that it ensures that they will not be blamed for any irresponsible driving by others.”
The A5 logbook contains:
· Vehicle log sheets to keep a record of each journey
· An A4 speed limit poster for display in business premises
· A vehicle speed limit sticker for the dashboard
· Useful information on stopping distances and tips to avoid speeding
Copies of the logbooks can be obtained by going to www.transportlog.co.uk and completing the online order form.
