Road safety

Road risk in the professional world is the leading cause of mortality at work. At Howden, we combine advice and training to reduce your exposure to road risk.

Our approach

We offer you a mission of awareness and management of the prevention plan specific to your identified risk. Our teams will assist you in developing the Road Risk Prevention Plan:

Detailed analysis of the accident rate in 3 phases. : development of awareness-raising tools, post-accident analysis and training.
Custom recommendation
Risk identification Thanks to a unique method
Comprehensive statistics of our Car Fleets department

We offer awareness workshops as well as training to acquire a good driving attitude and deepen your knowledge:

Trainings and practical workshops
Interventions in Metropolitan France
Participative and interactive pedagogy
Single point of contact

We deploy several awareness tools to have a first level of impact on drivers: Prevention flash, welcome booklet, newsletters...

At Howden, we integrate our prevention actions into a process of continuous improvement, driven at regular intervals and at different levels:

Presentation of relevant indicators
Analysis of variances for improvement.
Determination of the driver type and the type of accident
Follow-up on the prevention plan, adaptation to preventive solutions, and recommendations.
Quarterly and annual synthesis during COPIL meetings
News review
Formations at key moments

Video-based security

We also use video coaching tools developed by our partner Efficience Prévention:

The MyAUDIT remote training tool consists of a ‘driver’ application installed directly on the participant's smartphone (available in Android or IOS), enabling a journey of around 20 minutes to be recorded. At the end of the course, the journey is transmitted via the application to a server and analysed by a prevention officer. The training organisation will then make an appointment for a debriefing of the journey via Teams, lasting around 60 minutes.

Safe driving and economical & ecological driving

We offer training in road risk prevention and eco-driving to motivate drivers to change their attitudes at the wheel, by getting them to compare their knowledge with their everyday attitudes.

The pedagogical tools used in this training module are highly interactive, thanks to the response box and the real-time recording of all the figures from the journey, giving a clear understanding of the precepts of eco-driving. The training is carried out on the customer's site anywhere in mainland France, on the employee's vehicle.

Safe driving and economical & ecological driving for HGVs

The teaching tools used in these training modules ensure a high level of interactivity, thanks to a response box for the theoretical part and a real-time driving recording tool (acceleration, speed, video sequence, driving observation). These tools highlight particular points to watch out for (clearance, blind spots) and, above all, enable the trainee to revisit all the events, danger zones, etc. at the end of the journey, as well as fully understanding the precepts of eco-driving.

The training courses are carried out on the customer's site, anywhere in mainland France, on the company's vehicle.
