Driving at Work
Online Training Course
Driving at Work Essentials – Online Course
Driving for work is one of the highest-risk activities carried out in the workplace. More people are killed or seriously injured while driving for work than in many other work-related tasks, which is why employers and employees must treat road risk with the same level of importance as any other health and safety hazard.
Our Driving at Work Essentials online course is designed to give drivers and organisations the practical knowledge needed to reduce risk, improve compliance, and build safer driving habits. It applies to company cars, vans, fleet vehicles and “grey fleet” vehicles (where staff use their own vehicles for business journeys). If the journey is required for the job – whether you’re travelling between sites, visiting clients, making deliveries, transporting equipment, or responding to call-outs – it counts as driving at work.
What the Course Covers
This course is broken into short, focused modules to keep learning clear and practical. You will cover:
- Introduction to Driving at Work and why road risk must be managed like any other workplace hazard
- Legal responsibilities for employers and employees, including safe vehicles, safe systems of work and realistic schedules
- Driver responsibilities and safe behaviour, including fitness to drive, fatigue, distraction and licence requirements
- Daily vehicle safety checks for tyres, lights, mirrors, fluids, brakes, steering and load security
- Journey planning and scheduling, including safe routes, weather checks, breaks and avoiding unrealistic deadlines
- Safe driving practices such as speed management, safe following distances, defensive driving and driving with loads
- Incident and near-miss reporting to support learning, prevent recurrence and improve organisational safety
- Final recap and safety messages to reinforce best practice every time you get behind the wheel
Who This Course Is For
This training is ideal for anyone who drives for work, including van drivers, sales teams, engineers, care workers, site staff, managers, and organisations responsible for fleet or grey fleet safety. It is also suitable for staff who only drive occasionally, as the risks remain the same.
Why Choose This Course?
By completing this course, learners will understand how to manage road risk through vehicle checks, safe behaviour, realistic journey planning, and reporting. The result is fewer incidents, improved compliance, and greater confidence that drivers are working safely and responsibly.
Safer journeys start with better decisions. Enrol today and help protect drivers, passengers, other road users, and your organisation.
