The Toolkit

The DR@W Toolkit includes:

IT IS ESTIMATED THAT ONE THIRD OF INCIDENTS ON OUR ROADS INVOLVE SOMEONE WHO IS DRIVING FOR WORK.

Prior to using this Driving Risks at Work toolkit, businesses should have:

  • Considered the occupational risks or potential hazards that their staff who drive for work may encounter during the course of their working day.
  • Considered control measures and put in place occupational road risk policies and procedures to minimise risk.
  • Given consideration to the development of a company "Driver Handbook".

This ScORSA Driving Risks at Work toolkit, if used properly, will enable organisations to deliver road safety advice, will help to generate discussion relating to some of the risks involved and can be used to inform and convey company policy. Ultimately this will lead to an improvement in the overall safety culture of the organisation which will benefit the organisation. This will contribute to casualty reduction on Scotland's roads.
