Fleet Risk Management
Managing work-related road safety
More than a quarter of all road traffic incidents may involve somebody who is driving as part of their work at the time (Department for Transport figures).
Health and safety law applies to work activities on the road in the same way as it does to all work activities, and you need to manage the risks to drivers as part of your health and safety arrangements.
Effective management of work-related road safety helps reduce risk, no matter what size your organisation is. It could also result in, for example:
- Fewer injuries to drivers.
- Reduced risk of work-related ill health.
- Reduced stress and improved morale.
