Workplace Transport Risk Assessments

Health and Safety legislation imposes a general duty on employers to do whatever is 'reasonably practicable' to control work-related risks to their employees and other people who could be affected by their business activities.

Employees also have a legal duty to look after their own health and safety and anyone else who might be affected by their work. Organisations that fail to fulfil their duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act could not only be liable for criminal prosecution, but might also incur civil liability, as the occupiers of premises, for any injuries or damage sustained as a result of its negligence.

• Transport and safety in the workplace
• Pedestrian and vehicle conflicts
