Fitness to drive: What keeps you and your drivers awake at night?

If you are an employer who has employees driving for work, you have a responsibility to ensure they are fit and healthy to perform this task. Unfortunately, a lot of employers knowingly or unknowingly allow their employees to drive for work purposes when they are unfit to drive!

This issue has been exacerbated massively during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the effects of the various lockdowns have taken their toll on employees. Unfortunately, those employees who drive for work pose a greater risk to themselves, their employer and all other road users.

 

Did you know:

• Almost two thirds of people in the UK have suffered sleep problems during the pandemic
• Drink drive convictions have increased 250% during the pandemic
• Drug drive convictions have increased 400% during the pandemic, with a good proportion being prescription drugs
• More drivers are suffering with medical conditions that need to be reported to the DVLA

 

Speakers will be:

	Andrew Drewary FCILT, Collision Investigator and Road Safety Expert
	Charlotte Le Maire, Criminal Motor Defence and Regulatory Lawyer
	Daniel Jones , UK Training Manager at D.tec International Ltd

 

Come and join us for this session to discover how best to approach this difficult and challenging issue, helping you maintain and manage the health and safety of your workforce and motor fleet.
