Health and Safety

Health and Safety legislation requires you to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of all employees while at work. You also have a responsibility to ensure that others are not put at risk by your work-related driving activities.

Mobile phones

It is illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone while driving. Ensuring all staff, including senior managers and line managers, understand the law and their responsibilities is essential.

The Highway Code

The Highway Code is one of the most widely recognised books in the country. It lists everything that we must and must not do when driving a car. It also lists best practice in driving behaviour in areas where the government has decided not to legislate.

Dangerous goods

If your vehicles carry dangerous items you need to register with the Environment Agency. For this purpose, dangerous items include: toxic gases; butane gas; propane gas; explosives; fireworks; other flammable items; strong acids; and radioactive materials.

Safety packs

Making sure drivers have access to a safety pack is good practice, but you should ensure your drivers know how to use of all items you provide, such as jump leads or a first aid kit.
