The workshop will provide employers with:
- The tools to develop a Road Safety Risk Management Plan to minimise the risks to employees and sub-contractors, while meeting their specific business needs.
- Strategies designed to minimise harm from road crashes to employees and sub-contractors.
- Strategies to minimise costs to the business from insurance and other costs.
- Ongoing mentoring, for a limited time, to businesses or industry groups requiring assistance to develop their Plans.
Road crashes represent major risks for businesses with employees / sub-contractors who drive for work. Having an effective Road Safety Risk Management Plan:
- Reduces insurance claims and cost, and time off the road.
- Reduces workers compensation claims and premiums.
- Reduces risk of claims against the business.
- Reduces staff turnover and recruitment / training costs.
- Results in more satisfied staff.
- Reduces pressure on managers / owners.
This event will be run by the ACRS with assistance from the ACT Government under the ACT Road Safety Fund Community Grant Program.
