The Government has unveiled a bold new Road Safety Strategy aimed at saving thousands of lives by reducing fatalities and serious injuries across the UK’s transport network. One of the most striking insights behind this initiative is that one in three road fatalities involves someone driving for work.
This statistic highlights a crucial truth: work‑related road risk must be a major priority for employers. Businesses have a legal and moral responsibility to ensure their drivers are safe, competent, and supported by strong organisational processes. And this is exactly where Viamaster Training can help.
Why Work‑Related Road Risk Needs Urgent Attention
With such a significant number of road deaths connected to work activities, organisations need to strengthen their approach to managing driver safety. The Government’s strategy emphasises:
- Stronger organisational responsibility
- Improved driver education
- Better management of road risk
- Enhanced compliance and monitoring
A proactive approach is essential—not only for compliance, but for safeguarding employees, protecting the public, and ensuring operational resilience.
