Welcome to ScORSA - The Scottish Occupational Road Safety Alliance
Managing Occupational Road Safety is an Opportunity for your Business
Driving is probably the most dangerous work activity most people do and very few organisations operate without using motor vehicles. Nearly all of use the road in order to do our job or commute to and from work.
Year on year, statistics show on average one in five collisions involve a person who is driving for work. Anyone who drives for work is more than likely to face greater risk when doing so than those associated with their usual function or role. Not only do they pose a risk to themselves but also to every other road user.
By law, employers are required to treat driving or riding for work in the same way as any other health and safety risk. They must conduct suitable risk assessments and take all "reasonably practicable measures" to manage these.
ScORSA was created to help and support small and medium sized businesses to do this where such specialist knowledge would normally be out with their budgetary constraints. We are here to help you manage your occupational road risks created through your normal business activity.
We provide, free-of-charge, information, advice, guidance and resources to help employers understand and manage the risks faced and create a safe environment for their staff.
