Alphabet has launched a free package designed to help employers to stay focused on fleet safety in spite of the recession.

It includes a management briefing on the issue of ‘grey fleet’ drivers - staff who use their own cars for company business.

In addition, there is a tool kit comprising customisable templates for a generic company car policy, driver declarations, a business driving permit and an employee travel survey.

“Grey fleet really is a grey area for many companies,” said Mark Sinclair, director at Alphabet.

“They recognise that it is a potentially very serious matter but find it difficult to know where to begin to address it, especially when there are so many other pressures competing for management's attention at the moment.”

Organisations can order copies by calling Alphabet on 0870 50 50 181.
