The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has renamed its Driver and Fleet Solutions division RoSPA Fleet Safety as part of a number of changes.

A new website will spearhead a host of advancements of its product offering and heavy investment in new systems and processes.  

This will involve the inclusion of telematics as part of some services and RoSPA is currently evaluating the most appropriate partners to help it deliver this.

Frances Richardson, director of operations at RoSPA, said: “The change of name is just the forerunner for many exciting changes we are making to the division, which will help us to position ourselves as one of the top, established fleet risk reduction providers in the UK.”

Commenting on the telematics service, Rick Wood, head of training for RoSPA Fleet Safety, said: “We want to be embracing technology, in particular around vehicle telemetry and effective management of data output to improve road safety, by delivery of relevant driver improvement interventions.

“We won’t be collecting data for data’s sake - we want to work with fleet managers to deliver safety improvements.”

The changes to the division will complement its burgeoning international work, which has seen it become the sole supplier to a number of multi-national firms, including several large oil organisations.

An update on developments at RoSPA Fleet Safety will be made at Fleet News’s major new event, Fleet Management Live event, which takes at the NEC in Birmingham on October 6 and 7, where RoSPA will be exhibiting.
