TIME SMART is the latest addition to the FORS Professional training portfolio and comprises a toolkit and two interactive learning webinars: Time Smart – Fatigue Management and Time Smart – Drivers’ Hours.
The learning package is designed for FORS members who have direct line management responsibilities for driver shift planning, monitoring of fatigue and ensuring compliance with drivers’ hours regulations. This includes shift supervisors, transport managers and owner operators.
The Time Smart fleet manager toolkit, which is available free to all FORS members, provides easily applied practical advice and resources. The information will also help FORS operators understand how to meet the requirements for drivers’ hours and driver health at FORS Bronze level accreditation.
This online toolkit includes two independent webinars, both are six hours long, with each focusing on a specific time management issue.
FORS director John Hix said: ‘The new Time Smart toolkit provides a training solution in a topic not previously covered within the broad FORS Professional portfolio.
‘Driver safety is crucial for all road transport operators and is a guiding principle that sits at the heart of FORS.’
