Course(s)
This online Safer Driving at Work course gives employees and organisations the knowledge needed to reduce the risk of road collisions, injuries, and fatalities when driving for work. Driving for work continues to be one of the most significant workplace risks in the UK, with provisional government statistics reporting an estimated 1,633 road fatalities and more than 29,000 people killed or seriously injured in road traffic collisions across Great Britain during 2024.
For many workers, driving is the most dangerous part of the working day. Despite this, employees such as sales representatives, delivery drivers, field-based staff, and company vehicle users often receive little or no formal driver safety training from their employer.
This online driver safety course helps organisations improve driver awareness, encourage safer driving behaviour, and support compliance with workplace health and safety responsibilities. Suitable for businesses of all sizes, the training is designed for employees who drive cars, vans, or light commercial vehicles as part of their role.
The course supports employers in protecting staff, passengers, pedestrians, and other road users while promoting safer driving habits both at work and during personal travel. It also helps reduce the likelihood of accidents, vehicle damage, downtime, insurance claims, and associated business costs, while supporting workplace compliance and safeguarding company reputation.
Employers have a legal duty to help ensure the health, safety, and wellbeing of employees who drive for work. Unsafe driving behaviours such as speeding, fatigue, driver distraction, poor vehicle loading, and driving in adverse weather conditions can significantly increase the risk of collisions and serious incidents on the road.
Effective safer driving training helps drivers identify hazards, improve awareness behind the wheel, and develop safer attitudes and behaviours when driving for business purposes. Online driver awareness training can also help organisations reduce accident-related costs, improve operational efficiency, strengthen workplace safety culture, and demonstrate a proactive approach to duty of care responsibilities.
With mobile phone use, speeding offences, and fatigue continuing to contribute to road traffic incidents across the UK, workplace driver safety training remains an essential part of modern health and safety management.
This online Safer Driving at Work course is suitable for anyone who drives as part of their job role or work responsibilities. The training is ideal for company car drivers, van drivers, delivery and courier drivers, sales representatives, engineers, maintenance staff, field-based employees, care and support workers, and managers responsible for workplace driver safety.

Developed in line with current UK workplace health and safety guidance and road safety best practices, this online safer driving course helps organisations meet duty of care obligations while promoting safer driving standards across the workforce.
