SAFER DRIVING AT WORK COURSE
This online Safer Driving at Work course provides the knowledge needed to reduce the risk of collisions, injuries and fatalities while driving for work.
In the UK, work-related driving incidents are not recorded as accident statistics by the Health & Safety Executive. But employers still have legal and moral obligations to reduce driving risks to employees.
If you have staff who drive for work, this is likely to be the most dangerous part of their day. However, salespeople, delivery drivers and all other small vehicle drivers at work often do not receive any formal driving training or guidance from their employers.

- protect their staff (and others) by encouraging safer driving, both at work and during leisure time

EMPLOYERS DUTY OF CARE TO DRIVERS
The legal duty of care employers owe to staff extends to all work activities, including driving for work. But because driving is such as everyday activity for many of us, managing driving at work is often overlooked.
Health and Safety Executive guidance on managing work-related road safety can be viewed here.
Driving for work involves risk, and therefore should be risk assessed.
Where risks are identified, reasonable steps must be taken to reduce these to an acceptable level. For example, this could mean setting minimum standards for driver competence, vehicle roadworthiness and journey planning. Suitable and sufficient driver training is a key element of any successful occupational road risk strategy.
Where employees travel by vehicle to and from their normal place of work, this commuting is not considered to be driving at work. However, all other journeys – e.g., visiting customers, travelling to a different location or between sites – does count as driving for work and must be properly managed.
This expert-led Safer Driving at Work training course has been designed to help you do just that.
WHY ENROL STAFF ON SAFER DRIVING COURSE?
Safer Driving at Work provides invaluable information and training on simple steps that we can all take when behind the wheel to reduce risks to you, passengers and other road users.
The legal duty of care employers owe to staff extends to driving for work. Even for very experienced motorists, driving is likely to be the single work task with the highest risk of serious injury or even death. Safer Driving at Work can also help organisations to avoid criminal and civil legal sanctions – and protect their reputation – should something go wrong.
Presented by driving safety expert Vicky Lovell, engaging course content is relevant to all driving – for work, commuting or in leisure time. On-road video commentaries help learners to visualise key learning points.
