On Road Driver Risk Assessment
Workshop Overview
As an employers’ duty of care, it is essential that businesses undertake the appropriate risk assessments for their business as they would for any other work activity. Driving a motor vehicle on company business is deemed to be an ‘at work’ activity and with over a quarter of all road traffic collisions involving someone driving on business, it is now recognised that driving a vehicle is the most dangerous activity an employee is likely to undertake.
Our On Road Driver Risk Assessments offer an alternative to online driver risk assessments. Typically ideal for any driver recruitment where online isn’t an option, drivers receiving complaints from other road users or drivers returning to work following injury or illness.
