Health and Safety on the Roads

With the weather reaching sub zero temperatures it is important that you as an employer take the necessary precautions to ensure that safety of your employees, especially lone workers and jobs where frequent travel is involved. I am not suggesting that as an employer you are responsible for the actions of your employee on the road, but if appointments are made for the employee then it would be wise to allow additional time for travel or if appointments are made by the individual then to advise them on taking the necessary precautions.

I appreciate that this may seem like a lot of common sense but having said that so much of Health & Safety is just that but sometimes it is all too easy for us to forget and put ourselves at unnecessary risk.
