Corporate Manslaughter & Fleet Training
Firms which fail to ensure staff drive safely in their company car are likely to be a prime target for the new Corporate Manslaughter legislation. Police will check that staff are properly insured, have an MoT test for their vehicles and have a valid driving license. They will also check that managers are not making excessive demands on employees by forcing them to drive when tired. Blue School of Motoring can help your organisation manage the implementation of the Corporate Manslaughter legislation.

Assessing risks on the road
Risk assessments for any work-related driving activity should follow the same principles as risk assessments for any other work activity. You should bear in mind that failure to properly manage work-related road safety is more likely to endanger other people than a failure to properly manage risks in the workplace.
A risk assessment is nothing more than a careful examination of what at work activities can cause harm to people. It helps you to weigh up whether you have done enough to ensure safe working practices or should do more to prevent harm.
Your risk assessment should be
Appropriate to the circumstances of your organisation and does not have to be over complex or technical. It should be carried out by a competent person with a practical knowledge of the work activities being assessed.
For most small businesses, and the self-employed, the hazards will be easy to identify. Employers who employ less than five people do not have to record their findings, but they may find it helpful to make some changes. These changes could save you money on:
- Fuel
- Insurance
- Sick Days
- Vehicle Repairs
