Up to a third of all road traffic incidents may involve somebody who is driving as part of their work at the time (TRL)
Health and safety law applies to work activities on the road and it is an employer’s responsibility to manage the risks to drivers. Effective management of work-related road safety helps reduce risk, no matter what size your organisation is. It could also result in:
• fewer injuries to drivers;
• reduced risk of work-related ill health;
• reduced stress and improved morale.
Employer will find this e-booklet produced by the HSENI a very useful tool for ensuring they are meeting their legal obligations.
