Invest to be the best
| Businesses across Essex are being encouraged to review their road safety policies this summer, as work-related journeys continue to account for more than a third of all people killed or seriously injured on the county’s roads.
The Safer Essex Roads Partnership (SERP) is reminding employers that driving for work remains one of the most significant risks faced by employees, making effective fleet and driver management a vital part of workplace safety. To help tackle the issue, SERP’s Business Driving in Essex programme provides organisations with practical support to better understand their responsibilities, reduce road risk and protect both their workforce and the wider community. The programme is designed to help business owners, directors and managers:
Businesses can also benefit from tailored training packages delivered by experienced fleet trainers, with programmes adapted to suit the specific needs of individual organisations, whether supporting company car drivers, fleet operators or operational staff. By investing in road safety, businesses can play an important role in reducing collisions, protecting employees and creating safer roads for everyone.
