A new partnership
|
|||
Welcome to the Winter edition of RoadSafe, a new publication that aims to unite current thinking and best practice on road safety issues. RoadSafe itself is a new road safety partnership of leading companies in the motor and transport industries in Britain, the government and road safety professionals, all of whose aim is to promote safer driving and reduce the unacceptable blight of deaths and injuries caused by road accidents. Fortunately, many businesses in Britain are now taking road safety seriously. In many ways this is not before time, given that between 25 and 30% of the 3,500 fatalities occurring on our roads each year are likely to be work-related. As employers begin to look seriously at the idea that safety behind the wheel is as important as safety on the factory floor, there is an urgent need for good quality advice on how to reduce occupational road risk as a key component of corporate social responsibility. This first edition of RoadSafe is dedicated to that topic. It provides vital information on how to manage the risk of accidents faced by staff whether they drive company vehicles or their own private vehicles for work purposes. I hope you find it useful. |
