Introduction

Every year more than 14,000 road deaths and serious injuries occur involving vehicles driven on company business. The Government has launched an initiative to reduce this total.

This initiative is known as Driving for Better Business programme and its aim is clear: 

To develop and co-ordinate a network of employers and champions to promote good practice in order to catalyze a reduction in deaths and injuries caused by vans and cars used for business purposes.

The business case for adopting good practice is also very clear. 150 crashes occur each day involving vehicles driving for work and this is a significant financial burden for businesses. By employing sound Work Related Road Safety (WRRS) risk management systems, companies can increase efficiency, produce better financial results, improve staff motivation and develop a better corporate image.

This is the message our champions will deliver, taking a business message to business.
