Brake, the road safety charity, is inviting small business owners with employees who drive for work to attend its free online training session on cutting costs by improving road safety.

The online training webinar is being delivered through Brake’s Fleet Safety Forum with the support of the Department for Transport, on 30 January, and is specially designed for small businesses with employees who drive.

At-work road crashes are estimated to cost UK employers £2.7 billion a year. For any business with staff who drive for work, improving employees’ safety on the roads is essential in bringing down costs; preventing crashes, bumps and scrapes can deliver multiple business benefits like lowering insurance premiums, improving reputation and staff morale, and reducing lost time. 

This online training session will look at practical, low-cost steps small businesses can take to save money, and protect their employees and the wider community from the devastation a crash can cause. It will draw on Brake’s long-running experience of providing guidance through its Fleet Safety Forum and sharing best practice case studies among employers running all types of business.

The session will explore issues specific to larger vehicles, such as load safety; wheel security; blind spots and protecting vulnerable road users; vehicle maintenance and checking. Speakers include: Graham Telfer, fleet manager, Gateshead Council; and John Eastman, fleet safety consultant.
