DEKRA Strengthens Safety Training, Supporting Logistics

DEKRA Strengthens Safety Training, Supporting the World's Largest Logistics and Delivery Firms : DEKRA, a leading global safety and sustainability expert with 100 years experience, has launched Transport & Delivery Safety Training across the UK. This expansion has seen the company partnering with one of the world's largest logistics and delivery companies to boost compliance, cut risk, and get drivers road-ready faster.  Every year, nearly a third of road fatalities in the UK involve someone driving on behalf of work, highlighting the importance of targeted training (Driving for Better Business).

The logistics sector's rapid growth, driven by e-commerce expansion and changing consumer expectations, has increased the demand for qualified, safety-conscious drivers who can navigate increasingly complex operational environments.  DEKRA's modular programmes are specifically tailored for delivery vans, HGVs, and grey fleet drivers, addressing the diverse needs of modern logistics operations. The  curriculum covers specialised topics including urban delivery navigation, load securing techniques, fuel-efficient driving practices, and emergency response procedures.

This targeted approach helps organisations reduce incidents, accelerate onboarding, and enhance driver retention by demonstrating real investment in safety and professional development.  "Effectively managing road safety is not just a legal requirement, it's a way to save lives," said Jon Sweet, Managing Director, DEKRA UK. "By collaborating with the largest players in logistics, we're delivering scalable, compliance-first training that protects drivers, businesses, and the public while supporting continued industry growth."  Training is delivered nationwide through flexible options including on-site programmes customised to specific company facilities and virtual platforms that enable remote learning without compromising quality.

All programmes are rooted in UK legal standards and transport best practices regularly updated to reflect changes in legislation and emerging safety technologies.  Organisations implementing DEKRA's training benefit from measurable outcomes including fewer workplace driving incidents, faster onboarding processes, reduced insurance costs through improved risk profiles, and enhanced audit readiness--particularly critical when working with major logistics partners. The programmes also contribute to improved employee satisfaction and retention, fuel efficiency gains, and reduced vehicle maintenance costs.
