Road Risk Management (RRM)

Driving is the most dangerous task the majority of employees undertake while at work.

Four times as many people are killed while driving for work than in any other type of industrial accident. In fact, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) calculates that, after deep sea fishing and coal mining, driving 25,000 miles a year on business is the most life-threatening activity we undertake, more dangerous than working in construction.

The Department for Transport have released figures showing that, in 2008 over 2,500 people were killed in road collisions, over 26,000 suffered a serious life changing injury and over 200,000 people were injured. It is estimated by RoSPA that a third of these road deaths and 13,000 serious injuries a year are as a direct result of people driving for work.
