Driving for Better Business
www.drivingforbetterbusiness.comDriving for work is the most dangerous activity most employees ever undertake. There are hundreds of thousands of injuries on the roads every year and literally millions of collisions that result in expensive damage to vehicles and property. Around a third of these are thought to involve drivers who were at work, and almost all are avoidable. Driving for Better Business is a campaign to help employers better understand the business benefits, such as reduced costs and improved efficiency, that come from managing work related road safety well. It was officially launched in 2007 following a study showing that this area of road safety is often overlooked, both in workplace health and safety processes, and public road safety initiatives. Indeed surveys suggested at the time that some 79% of companies had not even recognised this as a risk area, and many employers still don’t. Yet it is an area where some organisations have achieved remarkable reductions in collisions, and associated costs, through relatively simple measures. These organisations are our ‘Champions’ and they have agreed to share their inspirational stories with other businesses. Their success in reducing collisions has brought them a range of benefits including lower insurance premiums, improved fuel efficiency, improved reputation and even reductions in recruitment costs due to lower staff churn because they are now better places to work.
