Driving for Work Policy Writers

What are Driving for Work Policies?

Driving for work policies outline how employees are expected to drive safely and legally when using a vehicle for business purposes, whether it is owned by the company or privately owned but used during working hours.

These policies help employers meet their legal duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Road Traffic Act, ensuring that work-related driving is managed as a business risk.

What Do Driving for Work Policies Cover?

A driving for work policy typically includes:

• The types of journeys and vehicles covered by the policy

• Driver eligibility and licence checks

• Vehicle maintenance and roadworthiness requirements

• Reporting of accidents, penalties or medical conditions

• Mobile phone, fatigue and alcohol policies

• Expectations for journey planning and time management

• Links to health and safety, lone working and incident reporting policies

A clear policy helps ensure that driving on company business is approached with the same level of responsibility as any other workplace activity.

It also supports compliance with fleet insurance conditions and can help reduce costs linked to vehicle damage, fuel usage and legal claims.

Driving for work remains one of the most hazardous activities employees undertake, even in low-risk industries. Whether driving a company van, attending meetings in a personal car, or delivering goods, it is vital that safety procedures are in place and consistently followed.

By promoting safe, responsible driving behaviours and setting clear expectations, organisations can reduce risk, protect staff and maintain their reputation.
