Driving for Work
Helping you to Reduce Risk, Protect your Business and Save money.
Managing your “Driving for Work” obligations
Employers must have appropriate policies and procedures in place to ensure the safety of their employees who drive a work-provided vehicle or drive their own vehicle for work. An employer is also responsible for the safety of staff travelling from home to a work location that is not their normal place of work.
The laws governing safe “Driving for Work” in Ireland are:
- Road Traffic Acts
- Road Transport Acts
- EU legislation Regulations 2012
- Health & Safety Legislation 2005
