"20 ROAD DEATHS EACH WEEK INVOLVE PEOPLE AT WORK"
- Department for Transport"...on-the-road work activity is the aspect of work-related safety which receives least attention by employers with recent research showing that 79% of respondents had yet to compile a vehicle fleet risk management strategy"
- Motorists Forum Report on behalf of the Secretary of State for Transport **"....we WILL be tough on those businesses who willfully break the law and put employees at risk."
- Lord Hunt, Safety Minister"...all employers must remember they have a health and safety responsibility for their drivers.....and help us reach the working drivers who are too busy to be concerned with safety"
- Dr Stephen Ladyman, Transport Minister"....we recognise for instance that deaths and injury whilst driving at work are not currently recorded and this an area for great concern...."
- Hugh Robertson, TUC Senior Policy Officer"....we recognise that 1000 road deaths a year are work-related and not enough is being done to address this"
- Janet Asherson, CBI Health and Safety Advisor
Many responsible people in business and commerce are aware of the risk that those who drive on their behalf for work purposes are exposed to, and most take at least some measures to comply with their duty of care.
