Driver Fatigue - do you take it seriously?

4 July 2025

Driving for Better Business releases new resources to help employers understand their responsibilities and manage Driver Fatigue within their workforce.

Driving professionally is a demanding job requiring skill, concentration, and constant vigilance. A crucial part of being fit to drive – and something we all need to take seriously – is to be properly rested.

We often talk about vehicle checks and driving hours, but the amount of good quality sleep that drivers are getting is just as critical for safety. We need to talk frankly about sleep, and the common sleep problems that can affect drivers – and. most importantly, what we all need to do as professional drivers and as employers to manage the risks of fatigue.
