“It’s the employee’s car, so it’s not the company’s responsibility.”
False. If an employee uses their own car for business journeys, your business still has a duty to manage the risks.
These vehicles are known as your ‘grey fleet’. Whether someone is visiting a customer or travelling between sites, your driving for work arrangements should cover the driver, the vehicle and the journey.
That means checking the vehicle is safe, maintained and appropriately insured, and allowing realistic journey times that account for breaks and fatigue.
The usual commute to a regular workplace is generally excluded.
At ULTS, we help businesses build safer driving practices through practical training and support. Get in touch to discuss your team’s needs.
