Safety to stay top of the agenda
Road safety will continue to stay top of the agenda with Labour re-elected for a historic third term, according to award winning fleet software and occupational road safety specialist Jaama.
Since they were elected in 1997, Labour has made road safety a key concern. By 2000, annual road deaths had already fallen by 39% and serious injuries by 45%, when compared with 1981 to 1985. However, having already set tough new targets for further reductions by 2010, re-election is certain to maintain occupational road safety as a priority for UK businesses.
Jason Francis, Jaama’s managing director commented: “During the last 8 years Labour has introduced a broad range of measures to reduce fatalities on our roads. ‘The Provision of Work Equipment Regulations’, changes to ‘The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations’, the ‘Transport Act 2000’, establishing the ‘Work-Related Road Safety Task Group (WRRSTG)’, and ‘The HSE’s Driving at Work safety guidelines 2003’, have all made a significant impact.
“Being re-elected will continue the pressure on both road safety and holding organisations to account, with new legislation like the long overdue amendment of the law on corporate manslaughter. “
Jaama has just finished conducting one of the widest and most inclusive industry surveys and the results show that there’s still a long way to go before businesses achieve the widespread adoption of best practice.
