Northern Powergrid – Driving for Work policy

Northern Powergrid has a strict policy covering driving for business. Its driving for work policy was updated in 2023, covering all aspects of how drivers are expected to perform on the road, and in specific situations, such as breakdown or emergency. All drivers have access to the policy and must acknowledge that they have read and understood it. It is available in electronic form, and so can be consulted via their phone or handheld should they ever need to check appropriate action. The company issued nine safety alerts throughout the year to drivers, highlighting incidents, sharing lessons learned and other important information. Northern Powergrid also held two surveillance visits in 2023 in which driver safety and performance was reviewed with robust and effective processes relating to occupational driving. These underlined, and demonstrated to an external verifier, the benefits of the policies, processes and training to reduce operational road risk
