Editor's Notes
- Employers have duties under health and safety law for on-the-road work activities. The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSW Act) You must also ensure that others are not put at risk by your work-related driving activities. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require you to manage health and safety effectively. You must carry out an assessment of the risks to the health and safety of your employees, while they are at work, and to other people who may be affected by your organisation’s work activities. See ‘Assessing risks on the road’. You must consult with your employees and, where applicable, their health and safety representatives, on health and safety issues, including: risks arising from their work; proposals to manage and/or control these risks; the best ways of providing information and training. duties under road traffic law, eg the Road Traffic Act and the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations, which are administered by the police, and other agencies such as the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).
- Alan Thompson to discuss Can we eliminate the risk or terminate our exposure to it? Can we design it out of remove it? Can we develop and implement effective risk control mechanisms including administration procedures, physical barriers, process control systems, rules and safe working behaviours? Can we tolerate the risk? Is the combination of severity and probability acceptable and tolerable? Is the likelihood of an event so remote that we can live with it? Is the risk beyond our control’s capabilities? Can we transfer the risk? Insurance can mitigate the impact of financial risk. The legal duty of care for assuring that these resources are afforded a safe and healthy workplace is clearly the responsibility of the company.
