Employers urged to register for UK Road Safety Week

Employers can now register for Road Safety Week 2019 (18–24 November), to start considering how their organisation will get involved in the annual event to make roads safer.

Employers can go to www.roadsafetyweek.org.uk/organisations and register for a free action pack to help them raise awareness and promote safer road use to staff, contractors and the wider community.
 
To help give employers tips and ideas on how organisations of any size or type can get involved in Road Safety Week, the charity’s not-for-profit global campaign Global Fleet Champions is running a free webinar on Tuesday 10 September at 2pm. Global Fleet Champions aims to prevent crashes and reduce pollution caused by vehicles used for work purposes. Registration is available via the Road Safety Week website.
 
This year’s Road Safety Week, coordinated with the support of the Department for Transport (DfT), and sponsored by Specsavers, is encouraging everyone to ‘Step up for Safe Streets’. The Week will focus on how everyone can ‘step up’ and do their bit for road safety. There will be an emphasis on encouraging people to learn about, shout about and celebrate the design solutions that can enable everyone to get around in a safe and healthy way, every day.
