The guidance contains various checklists to help make sure there is a safe driver using a safe vehicle making a safe journey. It makes several suggestions on how to prevent work-related road incidents. Employers should consider alternative means of transport and “avoid situations where employees feel under pressure”, such as “making unrealistic claims about delivery schedules which may encourage drivers to drive too fast or exceed speed limits.”
