WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO TAKE STEPS?

Car drivers who cover 25,000 miles or more a year as part of their job have nearly the same risk of being killed as someone in the quarrying / excavation industries.

There are between 800 and 1,000 UK road deaths per year involving vehicles being driven for work purposes, and there are over 77,000 injuries to employees every year as a result of 'at work' road accidents. It is vital that employers take steps to reduce the risks associated with driving at work.
