Last chance to enter safety awards
Brake is encouraging fleet operators and suppliers who are working to reduce incidents involving at-work drivers to enter Brake's Australasian Fleet Safety Awards.
The road safety charity is reminding companies they have one week left to enter, with Friday, June 21 is the deadline for entries.
The awards, sponsored by the NZTA, recognise the achievements of organisations and individuals working to reduce the number of road crashes involving people who drive on work purposes.
"We’re encouraging awards entries from any organisation with at-work drivers, and fleet suppliers, who are working to reduce incidents," says Caroline Perry, Brake’s New Zealand director. "The awards celebrate the best of fleet safety. We know there are lots of organisations doing fantastic work already to tackle their road risk, and these awards are a great opportunity to celebrate their successes and share best practice within the industry."
This is the fifth year Brake has run the awards. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony and dinner on September 12 in Auckland, New Zealand. Along with the NZTA, the Australasian Fleet Safety Awards are supported by Bridgestone, McFall, SurePlan and Suzuki NZ.
This year’s awards are being offered in the following categories for organisations:
- Company Driver Safety Award
- Fleet Safety Product Award
- Road Safety in the Community Award
- Safe Vehicles Award
- Sustainable Journeys Award
There are also two categories that individuals working to promote fleet safety can be nominated for:
- Road Risk Manager of the Year Award
- Outstanding Commitment to Road Safety Award
