MORR Seminar : Practical Risk Management
The Health and Safety Commission and the Department for Transport have published guidance on employers’ duties under health and safety law to manage at-work road risk as a mainstream health and safety issue.
All organisations, large or small, private or public, are being expected to develop a systematic approach to managing occupational road risk (MORR™) that is appropriate to their business. To be successful, this approach will need to be underpinned by a proactive, positive road safety culture led by all senior managers, with full workforce consultation and participation.
Adopting such an approach will not only help to meet road casualty reduction targets, but it makes real economic sense for businesses as road crashes cost time and money in terms of absent staff, lost production and damage to commercial reputation.
As an organisation which led the campaign to put MORR at the top of the health and safety agenda, RoSPA is organising another high level seminar for health and safety and fleet professionals, managers, trades union representatives and other key players.
Besides highlighting the legal, safety and business cases for action, this event will focus on practical issues such as:
- Risk management
- Working with insurers
- Alcohol and drug policies
- Employers and employee duties
- Company policies
- The police role
For anyone concerned with tackling work-related road safety, the seminar provides a unique opportunity to hear the arguments for action, get practical advice on how to move forward and to exchange experience on good practice with others that share the same vision.
