4 April 2004 - New Work-Related Road Safety Website
Nearly 70 organisations have joined forces to launch a new website in order to raise awareness of work-related road safety and to encourage businesses to manage at work-road risk more effectively.
The Occupational Road Safety Alliance (ORSA) brings together employers, trade unions, local authorities, police forces, safety organisations and professional and trade associations.
Occupational Road Safety Alliance (ORSA) site has been developed with the support of the Department for Transport to provide ORSA members and others in the road safety and occupational safety communities with access to information and new developments about managing occupational road risk.
The website stresses that management of occupational road risk should be looked upon as a cost effective business opportunity as it can enhance a company’s reputation and save money.
The main features of the site are:
-
advice on how organisations can develop an action plan to deal with problems
-
facts and figures
-
information on the law
-
arguments for the business case for occupational road safety
-
details of resources and training providers.
You can log on to the new site here.
