Managing Occupational Road Risk

Course review:

RoSPA's Managing Occupational Road Risk course focuses on tackling work-related road safety with specific reference to the new Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007. Aimed at senior managers and directors it is a must for safeguarding your organisation's health and safety, economic and legal records.

"For the majority of people, the most dangerous thing they do whilst at work is drive on the public highway." (HSE, 1996) Employers have a legal responsibility not to endanger their employees or others by work-related driving activities. Whether travelling between sites, driving to work in a company vehicle or driving on any company business, organisations must ensure the safety of their staff.

In the aftermath of a collision the police can undertake a follow-up investigation of the organisation's work-related road safety policies and safety management systems. Charges can be brought against organisations that are found to have breached duty of care and where policies and management systems are unsatisfactory.

The course offers a full update on legal requirements, best practice and corporate social responsibility - can you afford not to manage occupational road risk?
