  What advice does the UK government give on managing work-related road safety?

 
  In September 2003 the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) and Department for Transport (DfT) jointly published 'Driving at work - managing work-related road safety' guidelines.
 
  These guidelines are the first time that the UK government has provided any advice, in writing, on how organisations should go about managing the safety of employees who make work-related journeys.  The three significant recommendations are:
 
 
  - Existing H&S legislation applies to employees making work-related journeys

- The key way to manage the risk is by risk assessments

- There is the same duty of care regardless of vehicle ownership
