THE HIDDEN RISK
Driving is shown to be the most dangerous thing happening in your workplace.
It’s behind more harm than any single other workplace activity. In most organisations, it sits invisibly in operations, nowhere near the board’s line of sight. Left there, it remains unmanaged. Brought into view, it becomes a risk the board can govern with confidence.
ACC
2,000+
workplace driving injuries reported to ACC every year.

INDUSTRY OBSERVATION
Most boards
don't have fleet or grey fleet risk on their corporate risk register.
As a director, you have an obligation under H&S legislation to ensure:
Three things: recorded, resourced, and verified.
Risks are identified and recorded. Including grey fleet and contractors.
Plans and resources are in place to mitigate them.
You can verify that those mitigations are actually working.
