Winter travel preparedness

Anyone who has experienced hazardous driving conditions in the winter knows that it pays to be prepared when driving in the winter months. Sometimes, unprepared driving in winter can have harmful or even deadly consequences. A 2014 Department for Transport (DfT) study found that 2,274 people were slightly injured, 251 people were seriously injured and 29 people were killed in reported road accidents when there was snow or ice on the road.

Seton’s Winter Car Care Kit is a handy and easily stowable set that contains everything needed for driving in winter conditions. This gear includes de-icer spray, a de-mist pad, foil blanket, ice scraper, torch and medical provisions.

In addition to providing your drivers with the best car medical kits and winter safety transportation gear, you can take a further step to ensure road safety by drafting a winter driving policy for your staff. When the weather reaches a certain point, it is impossible to travel and workers should be discouraged from driving at all. However, it is important to train staff for driving in adverse weather, rather than staying at home – including preparation, crisis arrangements and journey planning. Our equipment will ensure that you’ll meet at least the minimum requirements for first aid in the workplace, keeping both yourself and other potential drivers safe.

Training your workers

Van, winter and automobile roadside accident utensils are one way to prepare your drivers for accidents and unexpected events on the road. However, it is also important to ensure that your drivers are trained on how to use, store and maintain the equipment so that they continue to be useful for the future.

Also, auto first aid appliances are only one part of a driving safety plan. It is important to train your drivers on how to react to roadside emergencies. This takes planning and may include medical training or training on transport maintenance and preparedness in any situation.

While there is no law in the UK that mandates that private transportation must carry first aid materials, it is compulsory for taxis and private hire motorcars to carry first aid equipment at all times. Passenger-carrying (PCV) and public service vehicles (PSV) must carry first aid according to BS 2599-2. Buses and coaches are required to carry a larger quantity of first aid appliances as they carry many more passengers.
