Benefits of managing work-related road safety (HSE [30])

• Control over costs, such as wear and tear, fuel, insurance premiums, legal fees and claims from employees and third parties
• Informed decisions about matters such as driver training and vehicle purchase and identifying where health and safety improvements can be made
• Fewer days lost due to injury
• Reduced risk of work-related ill health
• Reduced stress and improved morale
• Less need for investigation and paperwork
• Less lost time due to work rescheduling
• Fewer vehicles off the road for repair
• Reduced running costs through better driving standards; fewer missed orders and business opportunities so reduced risk of losing the goodwill of customers
• Less chance of key employees being banned from driving, e.g. as a result of points on their licences
