Event details
There are over 35,000 casualties each year, injured in road crashes that involve at least one person who was driving for work. Often these casualties are other, more vulnerable, road users such as pedestrians or cyclists. To protect your staff and your business, you need to ensure your drivers understand the importance of driver safety – and the good practice standards you expect when your staff are driving for work.
Your organisation needs to do this for three reasons:
1. It’s the right thing to do
2. It makes good business sense
3. It’s a legal requirement
If you’re a health and safety professional, you’ll know that the law says all companies must have policies and procedures in place to minimise risk – and that includes the recognised risks around driving.
In this webinar, presented by Simon Turner from Driving for Better Business, we’ll look at:
· How to create a compliant driving for work policy
· The primary risks that need to be covered
· How to get driver buy-in
· The key to effective communication
· Keeping your policy up to date
All attendees will receive a CPD certificate.
