Driving Licence Verification Service from Risk assessments are critical, employers are obliged to implement measures in line with HSE Health and Safety at Work and Duty of Care Act when providing company vehicles to staff or employees.Who does it concern?To determine whether your business needs a driving licence verification service, consider the following questions: Do you provide company vehicles to your employees?Do you allow employees to use their own vehicles on business trips? Do you use a pool vehicle facility? If the answer to any of the above is ‘Yes’, then recent changes to the law will affect you or your company. Employers’ liability The Road Traffic Act states that not only is it an offence to drive a motor vehicle without a valid driving licence, but that is an offence to cause or permit someone to do so. Nearly 1,000,000 current road users are on the brink of losing their licence. It is an employer’s responsibility to carry out driving licence checks on all their employees and indeed on anyone who drives one of their vehicles. Employers are at serious risk if their drivers are on the road without a valid driving licence or are driving a company vehicle on a licence that does not reflect their licence eligibility.
