Young Drivers at Work Workshop

Young drivers at work encounter, and often create, a higher level of risk than their older and more experienced counterparts. The highest risk drivers on our roads are young drivers and at-work drivers. Young drivers who drive for work fall into both groups and consequently face the combined risks of their relative inexperience and the pressures of driving for work.

RoSPA is now offering this workshop as an in-company training solution. The Young Driver at Work Workshop is designed to help this target market understand the risks they face and the skills they need when driving for work. In addition, it will help the employer identify new ways to help young drivers.

RoSPA carried out an extensive study of 17-24 year old drivers who drive for work and their employers which resulted in the development and trial of The Young Drivers at Work Workshop. The project has since been awarded a Prince Michael International Road Safety Award.

What are the benefits?

The workshop aims to:

• Improve the attitudes and behaviour of young at-work driver
• Inform the development of organisations' road risk policies
• Facilitate the consultation of the whole organisation about work-related road safety policies and gauge how well they are followed

Workshop structure

The workshop will typically last between two to four hours and is designed for groups of 8-15 drivers aged between 17 and 24. It comprises several activities, each with its own set of learning outcomes.

• Better understanding of how driving for work can lead to increased risk especially amongst younger drivers
• Identify the factors which can result in unsafe driving when at work
