Businesses are increasingly recognizing the importance of driving safety as a key business issue. Road traffic accidents are a leading cause of death worldwide, and pose a significant threat to business performance. Work-related driving is undertaken by millions of people every day, and the sheer volume of driving activity across these activities means that risk exposure is high. The number one cause of fatality is driving related, and companies are finding that increased insurance costs, employee lost-time, and reputational damage are also major concerns. To address these risks, businesses should launch a strategic approach to reducing driving-related risk. This includes improving driver training and monitoring, implementing safety policies and procedures, and using technology to enhance safety. By doing so, businesses can improve their safety performance and reduce the risks associated with driving-related incidents.
