VolkerRail has won an accolade at this year's Brake Fleet Safety Awards.

The firm secured the Company Driver Safety (medium fleet) Award, recognising its commitment to road safety.

VolkerRail was commended for their work to improve the safety of at-work drivers, through the implementation of a business-wide behavioural safety programme. The programme is strongly focussed upon enhancing driver risk perception via the promotion of effective decision making and self-accountability.

Commenting on the recognition, VolkerRail's HSEQS director, Stuart Webster-Spriggs, said: "We are immensely proud to receive this recognition from Brake. Road safety is at the heart of our operations, and we will continue to make a significant commitment to embed a safe driver culture within our company and sub-contractor community. We look forward to building on this success through further collaboration with Brake, to strive for exceptional standards of driver safety across our business."
