The Health & Safety Event 2026

The Government’s new Road Safety Strategy, launched in January this year, puts employers firmly in the spotlight. An estimated one in three road traffic fatalities, and over 30,000 injury casualties come from road incidents that involve someone who was driving or riding for work at the time. The Government’s response is direct - a pilot for a National Work-Related Road Safety Charter, aimed at reducing work-related road risk, improving safety outcomes, promoting organisational accountability, and encouraging good practice across industries. 
But what does that actually mean for your organisation? In this session, Claire and Simon cut through the policy language to tell you exactly what’s coming, what’s expected, and what you should be doing now. Participation will initially be voluntary, but the strategy makes clear that regulatory measures will be considered if voluntary engagement does not deliver sufficient safety improvements. What will the government expect your business to do, and what are the likely consequences if you don’t comply? This is your chance to hear it straight from the source.
