This new edition of Workplace transport safety aims to help employers, managers and supervisors make vehicle accidents in the workplace less likely. It will also be useful for self-employed people, contractors, safety representatives, vehicle operators and other employees, trade associations, commercial landlords and other organisations concerned with transport safety in the workplace.
