How did Driving for Better Business come about?
•The Secretary of State for Transport asked the Motorists’ Forum how employers could be encouraged to give a higher priority to road safety for those who drive cars or vans for business purposes. Their key recommendations were:
– The need to make employers aware that workplace Health and Safety Legislation applies equally to work-related travel and should be applied in the same way as in the workplace.
– The need for a systematic programme of outreach designed to coordinate a network of employer champions drawn from public, private and voluntary sectors who will work through employer networks and associations to deliver awareness.

Why?
•Up to 1 in 3 road crashes involves a vehicle being driven for work. •Every week, around 200 road deaths and serious injuries involve someone at work. •Nearly all of these deaths and injuries are preventable. •For the majority of people, the most dangerous thing they do while at work is drive on the public highway. (HSE 1996) •Managing a driving for work policy can save your business money. •Managing a driving for work policy is a legal requirement under health and safety legislation and road traffic law. •Management and employees can be prosecuted for road traffic crashes involving work related journeys, even when drivers are using their own vehicle.

Register your own organisation here and we will add you to the growing list of organisations working toward zero road crash death and injury.
http://www.decadeofaction.org/
An organization making a commitment can positively contribute to a reduction in road traffic crashes and injuries on our roads in the following ways:•A reduction in the number of road traffic crashes•A reduction in loss time due to injuries•A reduction in the cost of material damage to the environment and vehicles•A reduction in environmental impact through road traffic activities•An increased sense of responsibility and commitment through training•Enhanced corporate social responsibility
As, according to the European Union, 60% of work related fatalities are the result of road traffic crashes, drastically reducing this number is a major concern for employers and employees in every organization.
