Why should employers care about road safety and road rule education?

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 ACT means that both employers and employees legally responsible for workplace death, which can result in financial penalties for companies, while individuals can face jail time.

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 cost.
