We’re at the Health & Safety Event!

By 5th April 2022No Comments

Today we’re at the Health & Safety Event at the NEC, Birmingham. 

Our focus this year is on van safety – a critical issue as we see continued, record-setting growth in the number of vans on UK roads, and vans are also disproportionately likely to be involved in fatal collisions.

Are you here? Make sure you visit us! We’re in Hall 4, at stand G141.

Compared with cars, vans are involved in ten times the number of other-road-user deaths per mile… Excessive workloads can lead to stress and fatigue, both of which have a negative effect on driving behaviour… skipping comfort breaks, eating or drinking at the wheel, and speeding are all temptations for a driver running behind schedule… As a business, taking steps to lighten their load will help you fulfil your duty of care towards drivers, safeguard your reputation, and achieve financial benefits from reduced incidence of collisions.

Rebecca Ashton, Head of Policy and Research
