RVSS Ltd was awarded the Lex Vehicle Leasing Vehicle safety device award for its Bootsafe and Bootroll product at the first Fleet Safety Forum Awards for Excellence.
Bootsafe is a heavy fabric holdall designed to restrain all loose items and Bootroll is a heavy duty sheet designed to restrain awkward shaped and bulkier items. They can contain luggage, tools or equipment to prevent them crashing through the seats of a car or van in the event of a crash. Both products have passed crash tests conducted by the Transport Research Laboratory and Bootroll has been accredited by Motability as a wheelchair restraint. Bootsafe and Bootroll are used by police forces, health trusts and ministry of defence police and more than 50 companies including RNIB. Alan Miles, administration manager, RNIB, fits Bootsafe and Bootroll to his fleet of 230 cars and vans. He says: "Bootsafe and Bootroll provide the necessary protection for our drivers, which is of paramount importance". Peter Knights, communications manager, Lex Vehicle Leasing, says: "It is amazing that so many serious injuries are caused by loose objects in cars and the Bootsafe and Bootroll products are an ideal way to keep these objects secure. We hope that the Fleet Safety Forum Awards for Excellence will raise awareness surrounding this serious issue and Lex will certainly be incorporating this in its future material on safety."
