Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

According to the HSE, there are around 200 deaths and serious injuries involving people using the road for work; some 40,000 people working in occupations such as sales, deliveries or taxi-driving are involved in road traffic collisions every year; company car drivers are 49% more likely to be involved in traffic collisions, even after correcting for demographic variables and their relatively high mileages; and countless others will suffer stress, anxiety and/or minor injuries from unreported incidents.
