Jayserv is strengthening safety oversight for its mobile engineering workforce through a video telematics investment covering its 10-van fleet. The mechanical and electrical contractor has installed front- and rear-facing SureCam dashcams to improve visibility of road incidents and give managers better information to support its engineers, according to HGV Ireland’s report published on 5 November 2026.

The connected cameras record activity ahead of and behind each vehicle, with incident alerts and supporting data capture. The system is intended to help Jayserv review collisions, near misses and reported driving incidents, providing footage that can assist with investigations and claims management, as described in the HGV Ireland report.

Jayserv operates as a mechanical and electrical contractor across Southeast England, with engineers travelling between customer locations. Director Kayleigh Mardell explained in the HGV Ireland report that the company had previously used vehicle tracking software to monitor its fleet and record engineer visits, but wanted greater visibility of its workforce while driving. She identified time on the road as the most dangerous work activity undertaken by its engineers.

The installation was coordinated with Enterprise Flex-E-Rent during Jayserv’s fleet replacement programme. HGV Ireland reported that SureCam fitted the equipment as part of the vehicle procurement process, avoiding additional operational disruption and vehicle downtime. Integrating safety technology when vehicles are acquired offers contractors a practical way to incorporate workforce protection into fleet investment decisions.

Mardell also reported that the platform was helping Jayserv streamline fleet administration and provide more accurate service information to customers and internal teams. These are company-reported operational benefits rather than independently measured results, but they illustrate how connected fleet information can support coordination between mobile engineers and office-based operations.

The wider SureCam and Enterprise Flex-E-Rent relationship provides further context. SureCam’s Enterprise Flex-E-Rent case study describes a separate deployment involving front- and rear-facing cameras across Enterprise Flex-E-Rent’s 100-vehicle mobile service fleet. The case study explains how video technology supports its mobile service operations, demonstrating the wider application of connected systems in commercial vehicle management.

For health and safety teams, video telematics can provide useful evidence when reviewing incidents and identifying opportunities to improve driver procedures. It should complement driver training, vehicle maintenance, journey planning and clear safety policies. Jayserv has not published independently verified figures demonstrating reductions in accidents or insurance claims, so the longer-term impact of its investment remains to be established.

For the sector, the lesson is direct: mobile-worker safety deserves the same attention as protection on site. By incorporating connected technology into fleet procurement and using its data responsibly, contractors can strengthen incident management, improve operational visibility and better support engineers working across dispersed customer locations.
