Are your drivers really safe when they’re out on the road? What if a medical issue you weren’t aware of was the cause of a serious crash? The consequences of these types of incidents can be truly horrific. To understand the potential scale of these tragedies, consider the Glasgow bin lorry crash as a stark example.


Conditions such as diabetes and sleep disorders represent hidden epidemics, with many people unaware of the scale of the problem and the potential consequences. And they’re not the only health issues affecting drivers. In this session, we’ll explore real-world data on hidden driver health problems, highlight the conditions you need to watch out for, and provide practical advice on how to address them effectively.
