BT and Tesco encourage Welsh companies to increase at-work driving safety
Two of Britain’s largest employers that are in the vanguard of promoting occupational road risk management will be among the speakers at a major Driving for Better Business event being in held in conjunction with South Wales Police and Professional Driver Services (PDS).
British Telecom and Tesco.com, which are both long-established business champion members of the government-backed Driving for Better Business campaign, which is managed by RoadSafe, will be helping to encourage Welsh companies to increase their focus on at-work driving safety and so reduce road crashes and cut costs.
The Driving for Better Business Wales event on September 29th is being held at the South Wales Police Driver Training Unit in Cardiff. Almost 100 businesses based in Wales are expected to be represented at the event to hear a wide range of speakers.
Caroline Scurr, director of the Driving for Better Business Campaign said, “Due to the campaign and the promotion of the benefits of occupational road risk management by the almost 50 business champion employers from across the public and private sectors, an increasing number of organisations are realising that pro-actively managing at-work driving is good for their staff and for their organisation.
“Our business champions such as British Telecom and Teco.com can prove that reducing the number of crashes involving at work drivers saves thousands and, in the case of large fleets, millions of pounds. In addition, cutting the carnage improves business efficiency, employee welfare and the image of an organisation.
“The result is complete legal compliance and a measurable contribution to business efficiency with savings that go straight to the bottom line as a result of putting in place a range of interventions. We are delighted to be working with both PDS and South Wales Police to further promote the benefits of at-work driving safety to employees in Wales.”
Any business representatives wishing to attend the event being held at the South Wales Police Driver Training Unit, Edward House, Dowlais Road, Ocean Way, Cardiff CF24 5TW starting at 10.30am on September 29 should contact Rebecca Ashton at PDS on 0871 200 2217 or email rebecca [dot] ashton [at] pdsuk [dot] co [dot] uk
