A new educational video explaining the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance on driving and riding for work, and what it means for fleets, is now available from DriveTech.

DriveTech’s new video explains the latest HSE driving and riding for work guidance to simplify the key messages

The updated HSE guidance was published in September and reflects the changing nature of vehicle technology and new onboard solutions, as well as the rise of the ‘grey fleet’ and the gig economy.

The expanded guidance impacts all businesses with employees that drive for work, including commuting to a workplace, and DriveTech is urging businesses to put driver safety first and ensure they are meeting their legal and duty of care responsibilities.

Its new video clarifies the changes in the HSE guidance and highlights considerations which may affect drivers on a regular basis, such as health and wellbeing.

Jennifer Morris, head of commercial development at DriveTech, commented: “We pride ourselves on providing businesses with the advice and knowledge to make their drivers safer on the road. The new HSE guidance affects everyone who drives for business and, while the new information could cause confusion, our team has addressed and simplified the key messages in an engaging, informative and concise fashion.

“It’s vital that businesses take note of the crucial new information and the responsibilities they have to their employees who drive or ride for work and that includes the grey fleet. Employers can’t afford to overlook the safety of drivers who travel for work whatever the circumstance.”
