Risk assessments for any work-related driving activity should follow the same principles as risk assessments for any other work activity.
​
You should bear in mind that failure to properly manage work-related road safety is more likely to endanger other people than a failure to properly manage risks in the workplace.
​
A risk assessment is a careful examination of what at work activities can cause harm to people. It helps you to weigh up whether you have done enough to ensure safe working practices or should do more to prevent harm.
​Your risk assessment should be appropriate to the circumstances of your organisation and does not have to be over complex or technical.
It should be carried out by a competent person with a practical knowledge of the work activities being assessed.
Employers who employ less than five people do not have to record their findings, but they may find it helpful to make some notes.
The aim is to make the risk of someone being injured or killed, as low as possible.
