Is Driver Safety training mandatory?

Employers have duties under health and safety law for on-the-road work activities. The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSW Act)2 states you must ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, the health and safety of all employees while at work. You must also ensure that others are not put at risk by your work-related driving activities.

Organisations have a legal duty to put in place suitable arrangements to manage the health and safety of its drivers. This is a wide-ranging requirement, so HSE encourages a common-sense and practical approach. It should be part of the everyday process of running an organisation and part of good management generally.

Here are some examples of how this approach can be applied to work-related road safety.

  • Assess the risks from work-related road safety in your organisation.
  • Produce a health and safety policy covering, for example, organising journeys, of its drivers and vehicle maintenance.
  • Make sure there is top-level commitment to work-related road safety in your organisation.
  • Clearly set out everyone’s roles and responsibilities for work-related road safety. Those responsible should have enough authority to exert influence and be able to communicate effectively to drivers and others.
