Occupational Driver's Road-Safety Management

The new Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act, being implemented in April 2008, will now allow the Health and Safety Executive or the police to prosecute companies who do not comply with their legal obligations seriously.

Under the Health and Safety at Work act 1974 and the 1999 Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations, companies and organisations must extend a ‘duty of care’ to anyone within the company who drives as part of their duties, whether the vehicle is owned by the company or the driver.  The management of health and safety is to cover the employees, sole-traders or volunteers working for, or on behalf of the company.  The company’s ‘duty of care’ also extends to all other road users when the driver is travelling on company business.  The occupational road safety management is for both vocational and non-vocational drivers.
