Preventative, comprehensive road risk management programme
Our technology-based road risk management service is designed to increase visibility and ensure drivers are safe and legal when out on the road. It covers company vehicle, cash allowance and grey fleet drivers.
Compliance+ is a modular service, enabling you to select the services you need to help you meet your duty of care obligations for anybody driving on behalf of your business, be it company car, van, grey fleet (own car), cash allowance or pool car drivers.
Everything is reported back to the business via an interactive online dashboard, including results of checks and summary compliance statistics.
How does Compliance+ work?
TMC's road risk management programme
This comprises of modules to enable you to build an occupational road risk programme that suits your business. The modules cover all employees regardless of driver profile – from HGV/LGV through to company cars, cash allowance and grey fleet.
Through our award winning app, drivers can complete their driving licence checks, MOT checks, insurance checks (to confirm drivers have valid business insurance), vehicle safety inspections (at frequency of your choice) as well as any bespoke checks that may be required i.e. eye sight tests, winter vehicle checks, fleet policy acceptance and more.
TMC manage the whole process, providing drivers with the tools needed to complete their check(s), making outbound contact with drivers to ensure checks are completed in a timely fashion and scheduling future checks based on the level of risk identified or whenever renewals are due. Where checks are not complete or valid, we can withhold mileage payments until the driver becomes compliant.
Whether you take one, two or all of the services, you will have full visibility via one platform – an online dashboard that presents the outcome of the service(s) back to you. You can find out more about the modules, by clicking on the boxes below.

Duty of Care - Your Obligations
In 2003 the Health and Safety Executive released a publication called “Driving at Work – Managing Work Related Road Safety.” This publication issues guidance that vehicles are classed as a place of work and therefore fall under the same Health and Safety legislation as a physical workspace.
The fact that cars are classed as a place of work, along with several pieces of road traffic acts and legislations means that employers are obliged to develop Health and Safety policies to minimise the risks to the health and wellbeing of employees whilst driving a vehicle for business purposes. The development and effective implementation of these policies is a company’s “Duty of Care.”
Whilst this legislation went some way in forcing companies to implement effective policies, it wasn’t until 2008, when the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act came into force that pressure was really put on companies to act.
These pieces of legislation makes it easier to prosecute companies for health and safety failures that lead to a person’s death. These pieces of legislation are especially relevant for fleet managers as the biggest cause of at-work fatalities arises out of employees driving for business purposes.
Every week around 200 road deaths and serious injuries involve drivers on work related journeys.
In order to ensure compliance with the Act employers are required to regularly carry out risk assessments that seek to identify the risks that their employees are exposed to. Once risks have been identified, businesses need to put suitable mitigation strategies in place that minimise or remove the risk. These risk management plans need to be created, communicated and deployed to the workforce. This applies to both company-owned vehicles and privately-owned vehicles used by employees for business trips.
