Safety of Employees
Introduction to ETSC
A science-based approach to road
safety policy
•47 organisations from across Europe under one
unique umbrella promoting science-based
transport safety measures at EU level.
•More than 200 experts contributing to ETSC’s
Reviews, Policy Papers, Newsletters, Positions,
Lectures, Press Releases, Year Books, etc.
•The European Commission, member
organisations, member states and corporate
sponsors are funding our work

Work Related Road Safety?
•Improving work related road safety would improve
road safety as a whole.
•Road Traffic accidents accounted for 39% of fatal
accidents at work in 2005.
•More than one in four fatal accidents at work
involved person ‘driving a means of transport or
motorized and mobile handling equipment’ (ESAW
2005). European Commission (2005) Causes and
Circumstances of Accidents at Work in the EU.
Who is involved?
•The main types of vehicles involved include light
vehicles (42% of cases), heavy good vehicles
(lorries, buses, coaches) in 28% of cases and two
or three wheeled vehicles in 6% of cases.
•Young workers are particularly affected by fatal
accidents involving loss of control of two or three
wheeled vehicles, as 13% of workers who died as
a result of this type of accident were under 25
years old (for comparison, in 2005 workers aged
18-24 accounted for only 8% of all fatal accidents
at work).
Driving for Work includes:
•Professional transport
•Driving whilst at work, for example sales people
•Workers on the roads for example carrying out
repairs
•Commuting to work
•Recommendation:
•Data collection should be improved including
collecting
•and monitoring “purpose of journey”. What is
monitored
•is more likely to be improved.
Council Directive 89/391/EEC
•Encourage improvements in the safety & health of workers
•Protection of workers through preventive measures,
•information, consultation, balanced participation and training
•Evaluate the occupational risks .... and make provision for
•adequate protection and prevention
•Ensure that all workers receive adequate on-going training
•Applies to all sectors of activity, both public and private
•Assumption that vehicles & roads are part of the workplace
PRAISE: European project for a Global Issue
Preventing Road Accidents and
Injuries for the Safety of
Employees
Aims:
To advance the knowledge of the
need for work-related Road Safety
Management.
Examine the work-related road
safety standards of EU Member
States and carry out advocacy work
at the EU level.

State of Play - Speed
Inappropriate or excessive speed
More than 2,200 road deaths could be prevented each
year if average speeds dropped by ‘only’ 1km/h on all
roads across the EU.
Speeding is extremely widespread!
• At any one moment, on any given European road,
50% of drivers exceed legal speed limits. (OECD 2006
Estimation)
•up to 30% of drivers exceed speed limits on
motorways, up to 70% on roads outside built-up areas
and as many as 80% in urban areas (PIN 2012)
•According to most estimates Speeding contributes to
as much as one third of all fatal collisions.
• The role of ‘minor’ Speeding offences is largely
underestimated. Even minor increases have great
consequences.
Speed & Driving for Work
• Speeding amongst company car drivers was
common in over 50% and excessive speeding
common for 13%
‘faster drivers tend to be younger…to drive
high annual mileage in company cars and…to
be in the managerial, administrative or
professional occupational groups, travelling
for business purposes.’ (GB)
• 2008 in GB over 85% of HGVs exceeded the
speed limit on dual carriageways other than
motorways and 75% on single carriageways
outside built up areas.
• About a quarter of deaths caused by LGV
drivers involve breaking the speed limit
Why drivers speed?

Speed - What employers can do?
Speed Management: A set of measures to limit the negative
effects of illegal or/and inappropriate speed.
• Shared responsibility (CEO, middle managers, individuals)
• Part of broader safety culture
• Holistic approach (mix of measures)
• Action at the organisational level and level of individuals
• Work Practices and Management
• A Risk Assessment led process
• The Driver, the Journey and the Vehicle
Time Management & Planning
• Create a safety culture: management should ensure
work practices that do not pressurise staff to speed.
• Ensure that the current shift patterns, journey planning,
employment contracts and work schedules prevent speed
and do not contribute to driver stress and speeding.
• Facilitate realistic scheduling of trips and contribute to
appropriate time management.
• In dealing with clients, avoid making any concessions
that might adversely affect road safety (unrealistic time
constraints)
Speed-Enforcement
• Monitor the driving of their employees including looking at appropriate
speed.
• Co-operate with national enforcement authorities to identify and
address problems relating to speeding.
•Strongly enforce the organisations speeding policy by developing a
system of sanctions/rewards and clearly communicating this to
employees.
• Consider the use of incentives to support driving at appropriate speeds.
• Raise understanding of risk of speeding of employees.
• Utilise in-vehicle telemetry to monitor and coach driver behaviours.
Speed - Vehicles & Technology
• Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA)
• Speed Limiters
• Event Data Recorders
• Telematics
Speed - Vehicles & Technology
• Include safety criteria when purchasing vehicles,
• Appropriate vehicle for the driver and the task
• On the basis of risk assessment utilise speed management technologies
• Communicate vehicle safety technologies purpose (i.e.: this is for your own
good and we value you and are concerned for your wellbeing!) to employees
and train them to use equipment properly.
• Use the available technology and systems to analyse the driving behavior of
employees, contractors and subcontractors.
• Work closely with suppliers, equipment manufacturers, insurers and
customers to develop appropriate safety solutions
