Driving is the most dangerous work activity that most people do - is your company's managing road risk programme good enough? Find out at the EurOHSE 2006 Masterclass on Training in Road Risk (MORR) on Tuesday, 7th November 2006
Millions of vehicles - cars, vans, lorries, taxis, buses, motorcycles - are used for work. Indeed, very few organisations operate without using motor vehicles. About 20 people are killed and 250 seriously injured every week in crashes involving someone who was driving, riding or otherwise using the road for work purposes. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) say that “health and safety law applies to on-the-road work activities as to all work activities and the risks should be effectively managed within a health and safety system”.
Come and learn from the experts - Roger Bibbings, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Senior Occupational Adviser, Dr Will Murray, Research Director for Interactive Driving Systems (IDS) and a Visiting Senior Research Fellow at the Australian Queensland Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety and Chief Inspector Ian Brooks Brooks, Traffic department of the Metropolitan Police who together will be presenting the EurOHSE 2006 Masterclass on Training in Road Risk (MORR) on Tuesday, 7th November 2006, Imperial Hotel, Russell Square, London.
