Who is at risk from at-work road injury?
A wide range of workers are at risk, not just commercial vehicle drivers, but anyone using their own or a company car or other vehicle, regularly or occasionally.
- The police record the type of vehicle involved in fatal crashes. In 1998, 46 drivers of light goods vans and 52 drivers of heavy goods vehicles were killed on the road.
- These figures prove that most of the 300 work-related deaths at the wheel involve a company car or owner-driver.
