Driving for Better Business
Driving for Better Business is a Highways England campaign , supported by the Government and Health and Safety Executive , to raise awareness of the importance of managing work-related road risk effectively , and the significant business benefits that can be achieved by doing so . The campaign , and the extensive resources , are free to access for all employers .
Sharing Good Practice
The campaign is based around sharing good practice – Employers who can demonstrate how this approach has led to significant benefits for their business are invited to share the details of their approach : how they met their legal compliance obligations ; how they identified areas for improvement ; what actions they took ; and the benefits they achieved as a business .
Better management of those who drive for work can ...
• reduce collisions and collision repair costs
• reduce maintenance costs
• reduce fleet insurance and excess costs
• reduce third party claims costs
• reduce business miles , fuel use and emissions
Supporting Employers
What links these companies is that they all made sure they got the basics right first , such as legal compliance , and starting to measure and monitor fleet activity . We aim to help and support employers to get these basics right by providing guides and examples to follow , as well as ideas to help them continue their journey and pursue good practice .
Our free resources include ...
• free legal compliance and work-related road risk guides
• free online risk assessment tool
• free examples of ‘ Driving for Work ’ policies / handbooks
• free interviews with fleet risk management experts
• free in-depth features on issues such as ‘ Grey Fleet ’
These resources include real-life Driving for Work policies and handbooks , as well as case studies that explain in more detail how these policies were implemented , especially where they cover mobile phone use . Some of our examples allow use of hands-free mobile phones , as they are legal , but stress that they can still be a distraction
