Keep Your Drivers Safe and Comply With The Law
Did you know that all your business vehicles are a ‘Place of Work’?
Including company vehicles and employees’ private cars.
Are you working towards a greener fleet?
Over the past few years, the government has strengthened the legislation surrounding the use of vehicles for business. They have extended the Health and Safety at Work Act so that every vehicle used in connection with the company’s business is classed as a place of work.
This means that the directors of a business have a legal Duty of Care to all their employees who drive on business, using either company owned vehicles or their own private cars. There are heavy penalties.
