If your company permits employees to drive on COMPANY BUSINESS,
no matter how trivial the journey, in their own private vehicles or in vehicles
provided by Cash for Car schemes then your company is subject to the Duty of Care
legislation applying to employees driving on Company Business.
An incident involving one of your employees driving any vehicle on company business
will result in immediate police attention. This will take the form of a detailed
investigation into all of your policies and procedures. This could result in
MASSIVE financial penalties for your company or even a custodial sentence
for Director/Directors if any non-compliance of the legislation is proven.
Ask yourself the following:
- Do your policies and procedures currently in place for company vehicles extend to
privately owned vehicles?
- Are they fully managed in compliance with the Duty of Care Legislation?
If not, dutyofcare.com will undertake to ensure that all such policies and procedures
will comply with the Legislation.
