Driving Policy

According to the HSE:

"For the majority of people the most dangerous thing they do while at work is drive on the public highway"

It is essential that employers control road risk through rigorous risk assessment, policy and procedures. A typical driving policy should cover the following issues:

• Fleet / vehicle management systems and reports
• Taxation, insurance and licenses
• Driver risk assessment and authorised drivers
• Company, personal and hire vehicles
• Maintenance, inspections and monitoring
• Driving hours and overnight policy
• Breakdown
• Accidents and reporting
• International travel
• Mobile phone policy
• Alcohol and drugs
• Traffic violations and police
• Posture and manual handling
• Road risk training
