Stewart Stevenson, Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change
It is estimated that approximately 100 people die each year on Scotland’s roads whilst going about their work, a figure that is roughly three times greater than quoted figures for accidental deaths occurring in the workplace.
Following the introduction of the Corporate Homicide Bill, business will in future be open to prosecution following work-related deaths – especially where safety standards have fallen far below what might reasonably be expected.
Companies are losing thousands of pounds in profits and putting their employees at risk by not developing and implementing a proactive approach to road risk.
Savings include:
- Reduced insurance costs
- Lower fuel costs
- Decreased repair costs
- Less staff time lost
- Less interruption to business and damage to reputation
