Protect Your Business and Employees: Partner with Drivetech Consult
In today’s fast-paced business landscape, smaller businesses often find themselves navigating a myriad of challenges to stay competitive and profitable. Amidst all the day-to-day operations and strategic planning, one critical aspect that can sometimes be overlooked is risk management, especially when it comes to road safety. Ignoring the risks associated with road crashes not only jeopardises the safety of your employees but also poses a significant threat to your business’s continuity and reputation.
According to recent statistics from Gov UK, road crashes claimed the lives of 1,633 individuals last year alone, marking a 9% decrease compared to June 2022. Despite this decrease, the harsh reality remains: on average, five people die every day as a result of being involved in road crashes. Moreover, the total number of casualties, including injuries of all severities, amounted to a staggering 133,433. These numbers underscore the urgent need for proactive measures to mitigate the risks associated with road safety, particularly for businesses, where employees often commute or travel for work-related purposes. Although driving-related risks cannot always be controlled, it is the employer’s responsibility to take all steps to protect their employees from harm, just as they would in the work place, in line with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
This is where Drivetech, part of the AA, steps in as your trusted partner in helping to safeguard your business and employees against the devastating impacts of road crashes. As a leading provider of comprehensive road safety solutions, Drivetech understands the unique challenges faced by businesses and offers tailored strategies to address them effectively.
Commenting on the statistics, James Starling, business services director of the AA, said: “These numbers not only represent lives lost but also the potential impact on employees and the business. Drivetech Consult is instrumental in implementing proactive measures to mitigate these risks and prioritise the safety of your workforce. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about protecting what matters most – people.”
