Risk Assessment

If your employees drive company vehicles (cars or vans) you must advise staff that it is now illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone whilst driving – even if the car is stationary in traffic. Motorists caught using a hand-held mobile when driving will be fined £60 and receive three penalty points. If the offender chooses to go to court, they will face a maximum fine of £1,000 (£2,500 for drivers of goods vehicles or passenger-carrying vehicles with nine or more passenger seats).
Failing to carry out a proper assessment of the risks of using a mobile phone while driving could cost your business a significant amount of money, either through driving fines or work hours lost to court hearings. Our free Risk Management Guide clarifies your responsibilities and provides straightforward guidelines for using a Mobile whilst driving.
