Driving Risks

Driving and traffic management on a UK employer's premises are covered by the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and this includes suitable and sufficient risk assessments and effective risk reduction and control. For some time, the UK Health & Safety Commission has been considering extending these requirements to include off-site driving. This could include, for example, company car drivers as well as drivers of goods vehicles. There has been considerable debate about benefits, costs and potential problems. However, many large employers already carry out fleet risk management programmes, including risk assessments and safe driving courses, as part of good management and to obtain insurance benefits. AWA supports this stance.
