OCCUPATIONAL ROAD RISKMore people are killed and injured in a work road accident than in any other occupation. This accounts for a staggering 20 fatalities and 250 serious injuries every week. As an employer you have a duty of care towards those who drive for work purposes. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1999 you have a responsibility to manage Health and Safety effectively. In the event of a work related road accident investigation (where appropriate) you may be required by the police to produce a copy of your Driver Risk Assessment and Training Records.
When managing occupational road risks here are some of the issues you should consider:
- road accidents are costly
- repair and additional insurance costs
- negative publicity and damage to your reputation
- paperwork and investigations take time
When you assess these factors, can you afford to manage your business in this manner.
What our clients say...
“I have been running my Company for many years. The type of business I run involves a lot of driving for my staff and myself. After being informed of the new Health & Safety Act for Drivers at Work I decided to take the necessary steps to look for training for my staff. I was recommended Happy Hour Fleet Driver Training Services. I had a free consultation with the Head Training Consultant which really put my mind at ease. They structured the whole project from start to finish. This has allowed me and my staff to run my business more successfully. I would like to thank Rosemary Farrell and her Trainers for such wonderful support. I found the experience both fun and rewarding.”
