Are You Ready Or Exposed?
“Employers, managers and supervisors must, by law, manage the risks that employees face and create when they drive for work”
Driving for Work is the biggest risk most people face each day. As a responsible employer, have you considered...
CULTURE
Do we have an environment that allows and expects staff to drive safely?
Are we proactive or reactive about fleet safety?
When there's a significant collision, do we ask whether management failing was a contributory factor?
Who is responsible for managing driving as a business activity?
BANG!
Have we completed a risk assessment of driving, as required by law?
Do we have a crisis response plan in the event of a serious or fatal collision?
Does our insurance company recognise our motor "loss prevention" programme?
What changes would we make tomorrow, if a colleague was involved in a fatal crash today?
MANAGEMENT
Do we accept that driver behaviour (and outcomes) can be strongly influenced by management?
Do we recognise good, safe driving?
How do we show that we support safe driving?
When was the last time we had our Safe Driving Programme independently audited?
METRICS
How many staff drive at work in our organisation?
Do we know the annual financial cost of uninsured losses due to collisions?
What driving-related KPIs do we measure?
Do we view road risk management as an investment or a cost?
