Vehicle Safety
In conjunction with a desire for better Vehicle Safety conditions – The THINK! Driving for Work campaign was launched to remind people who drive vans for work to take more care while driving.
Retrofit Installations found Quadrant Vehicles a pleasant company to deal with. Kelvin kept us informed every week of the progress on the purchase of our vehicles and informed every step of the way on delivery. Retrofit Installations would be happy to recommend Quadrant Vehicles to anybody who is looking to purchase a new vehicle.
It is estimated that around 200 road deaths and serious injuries each week involve someone at work. That means an estimated one third of all crashes involves somebody who was at work at the time – that’s a tragic waste of about 1,000 lives every year.
Just received my brand new Transit Custom crew cab, arrived earlier than expected. I’m absolutely delighted with it. The service Matthew has provided has been superb from start to finish, excellent price for a top spec van. I would without doubt recommend Quadrant Vehicles and I will certainly go back when I’m ready to change for another new van.
The initial phase of the Driving for Work campaign primarily focuses on informing people who drive vans for work of the potential hazards of work related driving, focusing on the primary hazards of:
- speed (due to time pressure);
- distractions (mobile phones, drinking, reading maps); and
- journey planning (fatigue).
Matthew was an absolute delight to deal with, easy transaction from start to finish and even threw in a bottle of champagne as my wife had given birth the day before. Van is beautiful and Matthew is super knowledgable. Thanks a lot.
In the last 10 years, the number of vans in the UK has increased by around one third and van traffic by 40%. There are now three million vans on UK roads, and the annual volume of new registrations is around 320,000. The home delivery sector in particular has seen phenomenal growth recently due to eCommerce demands. New van drivers are being recruited to accommodate this growth & for many of these driving for work is a secondary requirement to their core task.
First class service from initial contact!!!!! Van is absolutely amazing, just what I expected and more. Merv the delivery driver is a complete asset to your business, such a nice guy who spent time with me at handover. Cannot thank you enough for a 5 star service, you’ll be hearing from me in 5yrs time for my next van.
As an employer, manager or supervisor you have a legal responsibility to ensure the health and safety of all employees while they are at work. Health and safety law applies to on-the-road work activities as it does to all work activities.
Just received my Transit Custom Crew Cab from Quadrant Vehicles absolute fantastic service from start to the 5* delivery service. I dealt with Matthew and he will defiantly get business from me in the future. keep up the great work lads!
