About
DriverReport.org
The benefits to you from managing work-related road
safety can be considerable, no matter the size of your
business. It allows you to exercise better control over
costs, such as wear and tear and fuel, insurance premiums
and legal fees and claims from employees and third parties.
It also allows you to make informed decisions about matters
such as driver training and vehicle purchase, and helps you
identify where health and safety improvements can be made.
Case studies and research have shown that benefits from
managing work-related road safety and reducing crashes
include
-
fewer days
lost due to injury.
-
reduced risk
of work-related ill health.
-
reduced
stress and improved morale.
-
less need for
investigation and paperwork.
-
less lost
time due to work rescheduling.
-
fewer
vehicles off the road for repair.
-
reduced
running costs through better driving standards fewer
missed orders and
business opportunities so reduced risk of losing the
goodwill of customers.
-
less chance
of key employees being banned from driving, eg as a
result of points
on their licences.
-
Promoting
sound health and safety driving practices and a good
safety culture at work
may well spill over into private driving, which could
reduce the chances of staff being injured in a crash
outside work.
It has been
estimated that up to a third of all road traffic accidents
involve somebody who is at work at the time. This may
account for over 20 fatalities and 250 serious injuries
every week. Some employers believe, incorrectly, that
provided they comply with certain road traffic law
requirements, eg company vehicles have a valid DOT
certificate, and that drivers hold a valid licence, this is
enough to ensure the safety of their employees, and others,
when they are on the road. However, health and safety law
applies to on-the-road work activities as to all work
activities, and the risks should be effectively managed
within a health and safety management system.
