DRIVING FOR WORK

Driving for work is a high-risk activity, people who drive for work are 40% more likely than other drivers to be involved in a collision. It is estimated that driving for work accounts for involvement in 1 in 3 road collisions every year... In addition to the human cost, driving for work incidents create a financial burden for employers from vehicle repair cost, worker absence, third party claims and lost business opportunities. Driving for work also poses risks for fellow workers, members of the public and road-users, especially vulnerable road-users such as pedestrians and cyclists... The RSA, HSA and An Garda Síochána hold events and webinars to help promote safe practices while driving for work.
