How safe are your drivers?

26th October 2007, 3:33

Estimates state that up to a 1/3rd of all road traffic accidents are work related. The statistics go further to state that this figure may account for over 20 fatalities and 250 serious injuries every week. YES, every week.

Employer’s belief in thinking that by satisfying road traffic legislation is enough to ensure the safety of there employees and others when driving are thinking quite wrongly.

Health and safety laws apply to all forms of on road work as with other areas of work activity. And like all other work activities, risks should be effectively managed within a structured Health and Safety framework (management system). Tie this in with recent additions of Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide legislation and you soon get an idea of this subject’s importance and severity.
