Road Accidents are now more severe
The Road Safety Authority (RSA), Health & Safety Authority (HSA) and An Garda Síochána have launched a joint TV led campaign to underline the importance of putting proper measures in place to ensure the safety of all employees who drive for work. This includes both professional drivers and those who drive as part of their job.
RSA Saving Lives
It is estimated that 1 in 3 road collisions every year involve people who were driving for work at the time of the collision. This means that up to 63 lives could have been lost in work related road collisions in Ireland in 2016. More information is available on the Campaign Page dated 9th February on the Health& Safety Authority website.
This page also links into the Safe Driving for Work page on the website, which has many valuable resources, such as:
• Driving for Work – Employer Guidelines
• Driving for Work – Risk Assessment Checklist Forms
• Sample Safe Driving Policy Document
• Drivers Handbook
• Driver Health Guidelines
There are also many other helpful resources, including access to Seminars provided by the HSA.
