If you are a Director of a company. Then YOU are responsible for the actions of all of YOUR drivers.

If a driver of a vehicle, on your company business is involved in a serious accident, whether in the company car or the drivers own car and it is shown that the company has failed to provide Driver Training, for that employee under the Health and Safety registration that company is liable to prosecution. The charge of Corporate Manslaughter carries a maximum sentence of ten, to fifteen years and the offence of corporate Killing could threaten directors with a life sentence.

It is the job and responsibility of the employer to make formal checks and risk-assessments of every employee who drives as part of his/her work for that company and to address, through training all weakness found from that assessment.

A car, van or Lgv which is used for YOUR business is classed as work equipment. There is a requirement to train and assess risks to employees in the safe use of that equipment. Whether the equipment is owned by the company or it is the drivers own car.

You as a company director can take simple steps to protect your employees from having a serious accident and you're self from prosecution. Corporate Manslaughter or Corporate Killing.
