Digital Road Safety and Road Rule Education for Every Employee of Every Organisation
DriveAbout WorkForce provides practical, competency-based education to help employers meet their duty of care.
DriveAbout WorkForce provides 90 minutes of visually rich animated training in English, 8 Australian Indigenous languages and 7 foreign languages.
Australian Work Health and Safety Act 2011 confers responsibility on employers and employees to create and maintain a safe workplace, including during work related travel. It also states that whenever employees are required to travel, whether by foot, bicycle, scooter, car, bus or heavy vehicle, they are in the workplace.
The introduction of industrial manslaughter laws in QLD, NT, VIC and the ACT means that both employers and employees are legally responsible for workplace death, which can result in financial penalties for companies and jail time for individuals.
Apart from legislated requirements, employers stand to benefit financially from elevating road safety as a business priority. Every road incident or death prevented means many more families and workplaces avoid the associated financial, personal and physical costs.
One prevented road crash fatality saves $4.34M
One prevented permanent disability saves $694,000
Two prevented road crash hospitalisations saves $478,000
30 prevented non-hospitalised road crash injuries saves $360,000
Although DriveAbout is built around a core body of content, it can be customised and made available on different platforms. The platforms through which it is already delivered include apps, digitised e-books, and web-based training.
