Safety-conscious companies awarded
Companies have been honoured for working hard to reduce road crashes involving at-work drivers during Brake’s fifth annual Australasian Fleet Safety awards.
The awards, sponsored by the NZTA, recognise companies and individuals who have implemented successful initiatives, products or services to tackle fleet safety.
“We are delighted to have run our fifth Fleet Safety Awards, celebrating the achievements of companies and individuals who are striving to make a real difference in the world of fleet safety," said Caroline Perry, Brake’s NZ director.
"Congratulations to all the award winners and highly commended entrants for their impressive work reducing incidents involving at-work drivers and vehicles.”
Greg Lazzaro, NZTA general manager applauded the award winners for the important work they are doing to improve fleet safety.
“Many New Zealanders spend a significant amount of time driving for work, and tragically road crashes are a leading cause of work-related deaths, both here and overseas," said Lazzaro.
"So we applaud these companies for the important work they are doing to reduce incidents and improve their fleet safety. We’re delighted to once again support the Brake Fleet Safety Awards and we congratulate this year's winner of the Outstanding Commitment to Road Safety Award, Chris L’Ecluse.”
