Every week, around 200 road deaths and serious injuries involve someone at work. Nearly all of these deaths and injuries are preventable. For the majority of people, the most dangerous thing they do while at work is drive on the public highway. (HSE 1996) Managing a driving for work policy can save your business money. Managing a driving for work policy is a legal requirement under health and safety legislation and road traffic law. Management and employees can be prosecuted for road traffic crashes involving work related journeys, even when drivers are using their own vehicle.
