GMB guidance on driving at work

General union GMB has produced online guidance on driving at work. The union's Health and Safety Matters bulletin discusses the HSE's recent Driving at Work guide. This highlights employers' duties, including risk assessment of the suitability of the vehicle; competence, health and training of the driver; and planning and scheduling of journeys. The bulletin also suggests what safety reps can do to improve the safety of work-related driving in their workplace.

The bulletin can be downloaded from www.gmb.org.uk under health and safety
