Employees who drive as part of their job must receive the same Health & Safety consideration as those employees working in other environments, such as offices or factories.
Organisations who undertake fleet risk management not only meet this legal requirement but could also reduce their commercial vehicle insurance premiums by as much as 15%. Whether you have a handful of sales staff on the road or an entire fleet of LGV drivers, Trent Safety People provides efficient and effective services covering all aspects of fleet risk management.
 Policies for Managing Work-related Road Safety
As with any other work actitity, a company should have heatlh & safety policies and procedures in place to show how they plan to address the hazards associated with driving whilst at work, e.g use of mobile phones. Such policies and driver handbooks will ensure compliance with health & safety regulations and increase staff awareness of the driving aspect of their job.
