MORR™ : Managing Occupational Road Risk
Currently, we are campaigning to encourage employers to manage the risk of at work road accidents faced by their staff who drive company vehicles or private vehicles for work purposes as a mainstream health and safety at work issue.
Prioritising Work Related Road Safety – 18 Arguments for Action by the Health & Safety Commission and Executive
- Working together with some 66 other organisations in the Occupational Road Safety Alliance (ORSA) (www.orsa.org.uk), RoSPA is continuing to work to ensure that occupational road risk is addressed by employers and regulators.
- In light of the report of the Government’s independent Work Related Road Safety Task Group (Dykes Report) the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Department for Transport (DfT) have recently published guidance for employers entitled, ‘Driving at Work’
- The Health and Safety Commission (HSC) are now following up their ‘Revitalising Health and Safety’ programme launched in 2000 by seeking views on the development of their strategy up to 2010. RoSPA has welcomed many aspects of the strategy but is concerned that the HSC document contains no reference to WRRS.
Managing Occupational Road Risk as a Mainstream Health and Safety Issue
Since 1996 RoSPA has continued to work to ensure that occupational road risk is addressed by employers and regulators as a mainstream health and safety at work issue. It has been following up the report and recommendations of the Government’s independent Work Related Road Safety Task Group (Dykes Report) and has been continuing to organise events and to secure publicity to help raise awareness of the moral, social, legal, and business cases for action.
Managing Occupational Road Risk: The Story so far...
This document sets out the basis for ensuring that occupational road risk is addressed as part of mainstream health and safety management. It discusses issues of the associated risk & harm, control measures, RoSPAs campaign on MORR and the work of the Governments independent Work-Related Road Safety Task Group (WRRSTG) in efforts to Make MORR Happen.
RoSPA Supplementary Guidance on Speed, Fatigue and Driver Competence
In addition to RoSPAs main guidance publication on Managing Risk on the Road (see RoSPAs Occupational Road Risk Product/ Service Suite below), we are issuing a set of supplementary guidance on preventing inappropriate use of speed, preventing falling asleep at the wheel and ensuring driver competence. This draft document is a PDF format.
