Driver Identification
Why Driver, Vehicle & Licence ID?
Managing the duty of care to employees driving for work is a legal requirement, and this includes employees driving their own vehicles for work. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 states that: “It shall be the duty of every employer to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all employees.”
This means that: Both management and employees can be prosecuted for road traffic crashes involving work-related journeys, even when the driver is using their own vehicle.
So all that lets cut throught the Jargon -
Where do you start & how does Blackbox Telematics assist?
 Driver ID
Driver ID provides your business the ability to segregate driver data whilst logging all specific driver activity, thus ensuring your business gains the full benefits of GPS vehicle tracking, whilst complying with current legislation. Find

Driver ID is a simple method of identifying individual drivers, where your assets are utilised by multiple drivers. Each time the vehicle ignition is switched on a buzzer sounds to remind the driver to apply the Driver Key, the system will then collect the data via a Driver Key allowing your business to measure and report their movements on vehicle-by vehicle basis.
Driver ID will ensure the detailed vehicle activity provides your business the driver activity allowing you to manage timesheets effectively, ensuring the correct driver is carrying out the work you intended. Driver ID provides the ability to identify and reward efficient and safe drivers as well as plan the development of poor driver performance.
 How do I cut down on Administration?
Driver ID allows you can to gather the most detailed picture of each driver’s activity thus reducing the administrative burden, while maintaining your duty of care by linking records on driving licenses ensuring drivers only drive vehicles and the category of vehicles they are entitled to drive.

Driver ID allows your business to manage the resources and provide you the ability of an in-depth understanding of the status of the licences held by all those who drive on their company business.
The burden that the driver licence checking process places on companies and organisations can be huge. We offer this fully managed service, the system provides alerts to ensure your business is notified when unidentified or unqualified drivers using your vehicles reducing the administrative workload, whilst at the same time assisting businesses in their "Duty of Care" responsibilities and HSE obligations.
 What do we install in your vehicle?
The hardware
A driver ID key receiver is installed on the vehicle’s dash (no exposed wiring). Each driver is assigned a unique Driver ID key which they must use to ‘log-in’ to each vehicle before they can begin their journey, forcing use and ensuring you have complete data from your mobile workforce.
 How does your business comply?
Licence and vehicle compliance:
All Vehicles require certain licenses and categories, our DVLA Driving license data will ensure you not only know where each of your operatives are but whether or not they hold a current and valid driving licence.

• How is this achieved?
We start with the Driving Licence:
It’s so simple, all drivers have to do is complete a DVLA consent form which is produced by us. This consent form conforms with data protection and is valid for three years and enables you to check as often as required. The data from the DVLA is then uploaded into the system for you to see at risk drivers and information is relayed to the Driver ID software.

Grey Fleet, what is Grey Fleet?
If your employees use their own cars for work, this is Grey Fleet:
Companies, who offer a cash alternative to their staff, rather than a company vehicle, may mistakenly believe their responsibility for those private vehicles rests with the driver and not the company.
Find
out more...
 Ignorance is no excuse and it’s a company’s responsibility to manage their Grey Fleet, if this is ignored they risk severe penalties – even imprisonment!
The Health and Safety at Work Act in 2009 mean that both drivers and management can be prosecuted for incidents involving work-related journeys, even if the driver is using their own vehicle.
We have Grey Fleet drivers, which areas should
I focus on?
To avoid the possibility of prosecution, a company should include these private vehicles and their drivers in the overall company vehicle policy and operation, and therefore pro-actively manage these vehicles; the policy should include statements relating to the vehicle, the driver and the journey.
The Vehicle
The employee is responsible for ensuring their own vehicle complies with Road Traffic Law, is in a safe and roadworthy condition and fit for purpose. If used for business purposes, the employee is responsible for keeping up-to-date MOT, valid road tax, insurance cover and business use. Service records and safety checks should also be in line with the vehicle manufacturer.
The Management
The employer requires minimum vehicle standards to be met by employee owned cars used for business, which cover NCAP ratings, emissions levels, required safety features and essential breakdown cover.
The driver
The employee is responsible for holding a current and valid driving licence, with up to-date information on endorsements, and for producing this for regular checks by management.
The journey
The business is responsible for taking steps to assure itself that the vehicle and driver are fit for purpose for each business journey undertaken.
So how does the system assist with this process other
than just Driver Information?
The system provides key Grey Fleet & ensures the vehicle is “fit for purpose”:
Blackbox Telematics provides companies with the peace of mind Grey Fleet is properly “fit for purpose” by providing verification and reporting in the following areas:
- Road Tax validation & expiry date.
