Putting driver safety front and centre
Driving for work carries the third highest risk of occupational mortality, following deep sea fishing and mining. In fact, workrelated driving collisions account for 29% of all road fatalities and 21% of all casualties (including those killed, seriously injured, and slightly injured) in the UK.
Fleet 200 Strategy Network put driver safety front and centre with their new 2024 Safety Survey and Report.
