HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK –

KEY ISSUES FOR FLEET MANAGEMENT

Around 30% of all road traffic accidents involve someone who is at work at the time – around 3,500 people are killed on our roads every year, and 40,000 are seriously injured. Health and Safety law requires employers to ensure as far as practical, the health, safety and welfare of all employees at all times, and this extends to the time spent by an employee on company business in any vehicle. An employer can’t be totally responsible for how a vehicle is driven, but can certainly influence what the driver does and how it’s done.

Unrealistic delivery schedules or appointment targets, inadequate training and poor maintenance of vehicles all increase the risk of road accidents

The law now states that:
"failure by senior managers to manage Health and Safety adequately, including through inappropriate delegation of health and safety matters, will leave organisations vulnerable to corporate manslaughter charges".
