Good afternoon,

I currently work in the NHS and am carrying out some work with regards to workplace transport. We have a workplace policy and procedure in place and undertake driver risk assessments; also we provide a comprehensive booklet with regards to drivers duties and driver training etc, for all our company owned fleet vehicles.

However we have a lease car scheme in operation were by employees can take a lease car and make a contribution for their own personal use.

Risk Assessments have been undertaken in the types of workplace transport activities we are involved in. Does anyone consider that we need to do any more i.e. manage lease car holders service and MOT vehicles etc.

Thanks in advance for any comments provided

There is always something more that one can do, it is really a matter of how much more.

I would add that as an employer you could show due diligence by checking driver's licences to ensure they are qualified to drive vehicles eg not banned.
