THE Health and Safety Executive’s “Driving at Work” guidelines give a very clear instruction about managing road risk.
Employers must take “all reasonably practicable precautions” to protect their employees while driving at work.
The road risk management guidance applies to all employers, irrespective of business size.
The guidance covers all staff that drive, or ride a motorcycle or bicycle at work.
It covers people whose main job is driving.
And those who drive or ride occasionally, or for short distances.
It makes no distinction over who provides the vehicle – private car drivers are due the exact same duty of care as those in company cars.
There is a huge amount of legislation already in place that has an impact on the use of vehicles on business.
