The Road Safety Authority (RSA), Health & Safety Authority (HSA) and An Garda Síochána will host a series of free half-day seminars in October on Managing Driving for Work. Employers, managers and supervisors must, by law, manage the risks that employees face and create when they drive for work.
The seminars will be of particular interest and benefit to employers, self-employed, transport, safety and fleet managers who operate commercial vehicles in all work sectors but specifically those involved in routine transport of goods, equipment and materials. The seminars will:
*outline the employers legal obligations in relation to driving for work activities;
*inform and educate employers about how to implement safe driving for work practices;
*inform employers on key requirements for managing drivers;
*provide guidance and resources to help employers understand and manage driving for work risks effectively;
*outline key requirements for fleet and vehicle management, and
*provide practical ‘best in class’ examples of companies who effectively manage driving for work with multiple business benefits.
Managing driving for work in your business will help to protect your workforce, and your business.
