Driving behaviours

This Ireland South Branch event looks at how to address driver behaviours and implement safe driving practices.

Driving for work is a high-risk activity. People who drive for work are 40 per cent more likely than other drivers to be involved in a collision. It is estimated that driving for work accounts for involvement in one in three road collisions every year.

In addition to the human cost, driving-for-work incidents create a financial burden for employers from:

• vehicle repair costs
• worker absence
• third-party claims
• lost business opportunities.

Driving for work also poses risks for fellow workers, members of the public and road users, especially vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists.

The speaker is Fabian Murphy CFIOSH, Risk Management Surveyor at Aviva Ireland and IOSH Ireland South Branch Vice President.

This event is open to IOSH members and non-members.
