The law says all companies must have policies and procedures in place to minimise risk including the recognised risks around driving for work. Poorly managed drivers are more likely to crash and put additional strain on their vehicles which increases admin time, insurance costs, maintenance and fuel use.
There are almost 40,000 injuries each year on Britain’s roads that involve someone driving for work. We all want our staff and other road users to get home safe and well at the end of each day.
The Driving for Better Business Policy Builder gives you access to a professionally written and comprehensive driving for work policy template that ensures you cover all the required elements. It will help you meet the required legal and compliance standards, whether you’re creating a new policy from scratch, or simply wanting to check an existing policy, using their Driving for Work Policy template.
The policy builder will allow you to access templates and checklists, create a policy document, get alerts to any changes in guidance or legislation and receive an annual reminder to review your policy. And what’s more, it’s all free to access for everyone.
Driving for Better Business is a government-backed National Highways programme to help employers reduce work-related road risk, control the associated costs, and improve compliance with current legislation and guidance. It is free to access and contains useful online tools and resources to help evaluate practices, strengthen culture, and enhance performance and demonstrate leadership in the management of work-related road risk.
