Driving at work campaign
With a third of all deaths on the road involving a vehicle being used for work purposes, we are running a major initiative warning businesses that they need to consider the dangers that their employees face on the roads. We have produced a specialist information pack for businesses on the subject.
Entitled 'Don't get blood on your hands', it features:
- a five-point plan for managing work-related road safety
- a guide to risk assessment
- a guide to relevant legislation
- the business case for safer driving
Businesses wanting more information or advice can contact the Road Safety Officer.
