Arcus FM Cuts Safety Incidents by 25% Over Five-Year Period

Arcus FM has marked five years of RoSPA Gold recognition for health and safety performance, alongside a 25 per cent reduction in RIDDOR-reportable incidents over the same period. The achievement reflects a company-wide commitment to safety culture, training, risk assessment, and continuous improvement—demonstrating that consistent operational discipline delivers measurable results in employee wellbeing and client confidence.

For facilities management and service businesses, safety performance is increasingly scrutinised during procurement and contract reviews. Clients want assurance that contractors are managing risk effectively, particularly where work involves driving, lone working, or high-risk environments. Fleet safety is a core component of this picture: vehicle incidents, driver behaviour, and maintenance standards all feed into overall safety records and insurance costs.

Reducing incidents requires more than policy—it demands investment in driver training, telematics, vehicle maintenance, and proactive reporting. Connected fleet systems can flag risky driving, monitor vehicle health, and provide evidence for insurance and compliance purposes. Businesses that take fleet safety seriously not only protect their people but also improve contract retention, reduce premiums, and enhance reputation.

Our connected fleet data services and flexible leasing packages give you the tools and insight to manage risk and demonstrate continuous improvement to clients and insurers.
