Updated HSE guidance now available
Updated guidance from HSE is now available. The new leaflet applies to any employer with employees who drive, or ride a motorcycle or bicycle at work, as well as self-employed people. It also applies to those using
their own vehicle for a work-related journey. It will be particularly valuable to those responsible for fleet management. Employees and their safety representatives will also find it helpful.
It emphasises how to follow a ‘Plan, Do, Check, Act’ approach and shows examples of how this approach can be applied to work-related road safety.
Among the new recommendations are the need to ensure that the safest vehicles are made available.
