"The Highways England Driving Better for Business Programme supports the British Road Safety Statement in raising awareness of the importance of work-related road safety."<br><br>"Road safety is not just a matter for government and the public sector. Is it an issue that requires support from the private sector, and that means businesses making sure they are compliant with current legislation."<br><br>Jesse Norman, MP

What are the four requirements?
Senior management are aware of the legal obligations on them and the business, and fully support the need to manage work-related road risk effectively.
Complete the 'Driving for Better Business' online risk assessment and have a plan in place to fill any significant gaps.
Have a ‘Driving at Work’ policy that is compliant with Health and Safety Executive guidance on managing driving at work (INDG382), which has been effectively communicated to our staff.
Hold organised records on all drivers and vehicles to ensure that all are eligible to make business journeys, and that collisions and costs can be actively monitored.
The Driving for Better Business has been endorsed by many of the leading work-related road safety organisations, including the FTA (Freight Transport Association) with whom we are an official FTA Van Excellence Gold Partner.
