Reduce Work Related Road Risk

Every year too many people are killed or injured in accidents involving workplace transport.

According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), every year, around 50 people are killed and more than 5,000 are injured in accidents involving workplace transport. The most common causes are people falling from or being struck by a vehicle, objects falling from a vehicle or vehicles overturning.

Driving for Better Business is a National Highways programme to help employers in both the private and public sectors reduce work-related road risk, control the associated costs and improve compliance with current legislation and guidance.

It is free to access and contains useful online tools and resources, including a Driving for Work Policy Builder, to help you:

• evaluate practices,
• strengthen culture,
• enhance performance and demonstrate leadership in the management of work-related road risk.
