• The trades Union Congress (TUC) is demanding that mph ers should carry out risk assessments for their drivers in effort to cut the carnage on the roads every year.
It wants the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to play greater role in inspecting risk management policies of mph ers and provide guidance on managing occupational road ri: to reduce the 1,000 deaths that occur annually.
TUC health and safety officer Tom Mellish says employ deaths while working on the roads are normally investigat by the police and as a result the root cause behind the ac dents may never come to light. He is calling on employers take responsibility for their driving workforce, including inve gating road traffic accidents as they would any accident in I workplace, taken to mean RIDDOR regulations.
The TUC is also aiming to produce negotiating guidance
t union officers will be able to negotiate a safe driving policy h employers for their workers.
if all employers with drivers on the roads took their respon fifties more seriously, our roads would become safer places road users," says a TUC spokesman.
