New Webpages On Driving And Riding Safely For Work  

10 September 2021

HSE and the Department for Transport have worked with stakeholders to create new 'Driving and riding safely for work' webpages. 

For most people, driving or riding will be the most dangerous work activity they do.

Around one third of all road traffic collisions (RTCs) in Britain involve someone driving or riding as part of their job and countless other RTCs involve people travelling to or from their workplace.

Although the risks cannot be completely controlled, employers or companies who engage drivers and riders must take all reasonable steps to manage these risks and do everything reasonably practicable to protect people from harm in the same way as they would in a fixed workplace.

See new webpages that contain clear, simple guidance:

• for employers and those who engage drivers and riders on how to make sure the journey, driver and vehicle are safe
• for workers and those who drive and ride for work on their responsibilities
