There are responsibilities placed on both employers and employees when undertaking work-related driving. Research has shown that employees who drive for work have a higher risk of vehicle accidents. While it may be challenging for employers to exert the same health and safety controls over employees while they are driving as they do in a typical workplace, employee awareness training is a crucial intervention to mitigate these risks.
