What is Work-Related Road Risk?
What is work-related road risk?
Roughly one in three road crashes involves at least one person who was driving for work at the time.
Government statistics reveal these crashes lead to over 30,000 injury casualties each year, including almost 500 fatalities.

Do you know the law?
It says your company’s driving activities mustn’t put your drivers at risk, or endanger other road users.
Directors are responsible for identifying specific risks and putting policies and procedures in place to minimise those risks.
And all staff – whether directors, managers or drivers – must always follow those policies and procedures.
-----
What needs to be managed?
Vehicles need to be safe and roadworthy.
Drivers must have appropriate and valid driving licences.
They need to be competent to drive the vehicles they are in.
Drivers must be fit to drive.
Drivers shouldn’t be speeding or distracted.
Loads need to be within limits and safely secured.
Are you confident you’re meeting the required standards?
----
Looking to control operational costs?
Damage repairs, fleet insurance, maintenance and fuel use are often just treated as the cost of doing business but they aren’t. They’re directly related to the management of drivers.
Operational costs, unplanned vehicle off-road disruption, management and admin time and reputational risk can all be reduced with good practice driver and vehicle management.
