Work-related road safety
August 1st 2006 RoSPA reports increased interest in work-related road safety during the last year.
Charles Davis, head of driver and fleet solutions, says "We are delighted and encouraged by the way businesses and organisations have responded to the challenge of managing occupational road risk (MORR).
"Our own MORR business grew by 45% in 2005/2006, which shows how seriously those with responsibility for fleet management are now taking this subject.
"The argument now seems to have been accepted that this is the biggest occupational safety problem the country is facing and that fleet bosses have to do something about it."
RoSPA's MORR resources include a psychometric risk assessment tool Driver Profiler, e-learning, and management and driver training courses.
A recent initiative is ROADTest, an advanced driving test for business drivers that was developed with DriveTech (UK). More articles from RoSPA: |
