| Police to encourage companies to adopt responsible MORR strategies |
|
Several of police forces have recently introduced new initiatives to encourage company directors / owners to adopt more responsible MORR strategies. For example, after stopping a driver for a motoring offence, if police identify the driver is "driving at work", a senior, uniformed traffic officer, may request a meeting with a company director / owner. The officer can ask about their risk management strategy and request to see documentary evidence, that H & S legislation is being complied with, such as driving at work polices, risk assessment details, etc. Companies who refuse to co-operate, may be issued with an improvement notice and possibly fined. |
