Work often includes driving and over 1200 people die in work related incidents on the road each year.
Of the 140,361 reported road accidents in 2007 where a contributory factor was reported, 13,514 (10%) were caused by slippery roads due to weather, 13,856 by travelling too fast for the road conditions and 20,540 (15%) were caused by loss of control - all of which fall into the top 10 contributory factors.
Businesses that employ more than five people - even those without a company car fleet - now have a legal obligation to have a road safety policy in place. That’s where Rockingham's DriveSafe comes in.
Courses lasts an entire day and include the following areas:
• Driver attitude and awareness
• Recent changes in law and the implications for the company car or professional driver
• The causes of and how to deal with a sudden loss of vehicle control
