Even Santa gets worried about travel risks
Over the weekend I had a rather stressed Head Elf on the phone from the North Pole.
The Head Elf has been told by the Elf in charge of Health and Safety that Christmas may need to be cancelled this year, because he is still trying to get to grips with the Corporate Manslaughter Legislation in the United Kingdom.
The Health and Safety Elf has read somewhere that Santa will have to undergo training to ensure that he is competent to drive the sleigh on Christmas Eve. And until that training is complete, the sleigh will be grounded.
This is where the team at Fleet Risk Consultants stepped in and to ensure that Christmas is not cancelled and Santa is not grounded we made some rapid work on document production and introduced a sense of realism into the chill of the North Pole.
Santa is perfectly capable of driving the sleigh and as he has a dispensation from all authorities on speed limits we do not have to worry about endorsements on his licence.
If there are any further developments between now and the big day, we will bring them to you here.

I appreciate the humor in this post as you continue to reminder readers that fleet risk is an issue for any driver, anywhere, at anytime. Driver re-certification is a great way to mitigate fleet risk, even for Santa!
