Managing Occupational Road Risk – The RoSPA Guide helps businesses and organisations adapt to recent guidance from the Health and Safety Executive and the Department for Transport on driving for work.
It is particularly valuable to fleet managers, as high-mileage company drivers are known to be among those most at risk on the road.
Roger Bibbings, RoSPA’s Occupational Safety Adviser, said: “It has been estimated that between 800 and 1,000 road deaths a year are in some way work-related. Many bosses have ignored this problem in the past, but the HSE has now made it clear that employers have duties under health and safety law to manage the risks faced by their workers on the road.
“As the organisation that identified work-related road crashes as the biggest safety problem facing UK employers today, RoSPA was the first to develop guidance on the subject and has continued to lead the field.
“The fully-revised RoSPA guide explores the issue in more depth than the HSE document, and will be an invaluable tool for any business or organisation. It explains how to put the people, policies and procedures in place to successfully manage occupational road risk.”
The document covers the problems facing businesses with employees who drive for work. Topics explained in detail include benefits to be gained from introducing a policy for managing occupational road risk (MORR™), the law, developing a risk management approach, risk assessment and control measures.
As well as the moral case for preventing road accidents, there are sound business reasons. In just over three years, Palmer and Harvey McLane Ltd, the first winners of the RoSPA award for MORR, almost halved their accident rate and dramatically reduced costs.
