TyreSafe launch mini site centered at company car drivers
TyreSafe, the leading UK organisation on tyre safety, have launched a special mini-site targeting better informing companies and company vehicle drivers in the UK on tyre safety.
The advice offered by TyreSafe focuses mainly on how companies that implement a high quality tyre across their fleet can increase driver safety and scale back their running costs of their vehicles. The site also outlines how organisations can implement a cross company tyre maintenance policy to further reduce ongoing costs. Their mini-site further advises enterprises of their legal requirements with regards to tyre safety and the ways to check tread depths and air pressure.
Organisations sales teams are spending more and more time behind the wheel seeking new business so it is important that tyres are checked regularly to be both safe and legal. What organisations forget is that properly maintained tyres always have a good effect on the companies profit in the form of fewer replacements and reduced overall fuel bills. Budget tyres are often an interesting option for enterprises but all evidence shows that premium tyres from the likes of Pirelli or Bridgestone as an example will save your cash over the long term due to lower rolling resistance and higher resistance to wear.
Poorly maintained tyres will, according to TyreSafe research, reduce overall fuel usage by 3% when a tyre is under inflated by 20%. Over many miles and a fleet of cars this cost can truly add up for companies. This is down to the fact that an under inflated tyre increases the rolling resistance of the tyre requiring more fuel to move the car.
Sourcing cheap tyres for companies has never been easier with the evolving capabilities of the internet. Small to mid sized businesses can access big tyre discounts online thru the growing number of online tyre shops. The days of simply going to your local tyre depot are over and massive savings are available for fleet executives with just a couple of simple clicks.
Figures from TyreSafe suggest that poorly maintained tyres were a contributing factor to circa 1,200 road accidents in the past 12 months. It is important to remember that the responsibility for vehicle safety falls with business owners and their drivers, so it's important to correctly maintain the vehicles tyres. With the introduction in 2008 of the corporate manslaughter act companies can not just ignore tyre maintenance, and this should form a part of any solid health and safety plan. In addition, under the Health and Safety act of 2009, courts have the powers to prosecute companies for illegal tyres with penalties reach up to £20,000.
It is generally recommended that organisations and staff should check their tyres one or more times a month for tread depth and air pressure to ensure their tyres are both safe and fuel efficient.
