Health and Safety laws place expectations and responsibilities on businesses and other organisations to ensure everyone who goes to work comes home healthy and safe. Employers have clear legal obligations for work-related road safety and need to take ownership of the issue.
As an employer, your ability to influence your drivers’ behaviour and enhance your driving culture is critical to doing your part in improving road safety. While we all have a responsibility to make good choices and follow the rules, as a government agency you play a crucial role in not only the safety of your employees, but in setting a best practice example for other businesses and organisations.
