Road safety organisations have reacted with concern to the news that there has been an increase in the number of people killed and injured in road traffic accidents involving drink-driving. 

The risks associated with allowing employees to freely walk on foot through areas used by work vehicles are readily apparent, and there is a large amount of guidance available for employers on how these risks can be effectively managed. 

The issue of health and safety on Britain’s farms, particularly with regards to building maintenance, is the focus of a new inspection initiative by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). 

A recent survey into safety concerns of road users found that that drink and drug driving is one of biggest perceived threats to safety on Britain’s roads.
