Driving for Work Seminars

Learn how to protect your employees who drive for work and save money.

In October 2012, An Garda Síochána, the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) and the Road Safety Authority (RSA) ran a series of FREE seminars to promote awareness of the importance of having Safe Driving for Work practices.

Driving for work involves risks not only for the driver but also for fellow workers, members of the public and road-users, especially vulnerable road-users such as pedestrians and cyclists. Employers, managers and supervisors must, by law, manage the risks that employees face and create when they drive for work. These annual seminars are of particular interest to organisations and companies, big and small, whose employees drive on the road as part of their work in either a company vehicle or their own vehicle.

The seminars took place in the following locations:
