Health and Safety
A scary thought ..
In 2006 there were 3201 road accident fatalities in the U.K.
9 DEATHS A DAY!
The equivalent
of an aeroplane crashing every month.
So why do we have Health and Safety?
With the thought of the above statistics think about how this involves your company, big or small.
- 960, that's 30% of fatalitites, were driving on company business!
- 66% of company cars crash each year
Health and safety at work act 1974 put a great responsibility on employees.
Employers must carry out a risk assessment for all company drivers,
to ensure
a duty of care to their work force who drive a company vehicle. This
applies to any company with 1driver or more!
Remember
your company is responsible and can be
prosecuted for corporate manslaughter.
