Driving Safely

25 August 2010

Driving Safely, by David Byrne, is full of clear, easily absorbed common-sense and deserves reading by anyone with drivers under their control.

Importantly, as Byrne says, this area of health and safety seems to have been overlooked. "It doesn't feature in any formal safety qualification," there seems limited enforcement and "even less sensible and independent guidance."

His book does a lot on the guidance front and should help people cut costs and deliver practical improvements to driver safety.

It is published by the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management. For more information, contact Carolyn Long on +44 (0)1 483 237 230 or carolyn@mconieagency.com
