Driver Safety Theatre

Grey fleet vehicles account for a significant proportion of work-related driving, yet they’re often the hardest to control. Join Applied Driving and Connells as they share real-world insight into the challenges of managing grey fleet risk, and how clearer policies, better engagement and practical interventions can help organisations protect drivers, reduce liability and improve road safety across their business.

Drivers aged 17–24 are three times more likely to be involved in a collision than other age groups, making young driver risk a critical issue for employers.
This session explores how organisations can better understand and manage the risks associated with graduates, apprentices and other young people who drive for work.

Drawing on real employer case studies, it will highlight the scale of the challenge and show how early, targeted intervention can deliver significant improvements in safety.
Attendees will leave with practical insights into identifying risk, supporting young and novice drivers, and taking simple, effective steps to build a safer driving culture.

Driver behaviour and safety culture continue to be the greatest challenges facing organisations managing work-related road risk - and the evidence comes straight from the health and safety profession itself. Drawing on fresh survey insights and decades of behavioural safety expertise, Professor Tim Marsh explores why culture matters, what really drives behaviour behind the wheel, and how organisations can move beyond policy to create meaningful, lasting change.
