About ScORSA

Helping you keep staff safe when they drive for work - for free.

If your employees drive for their job, managing that risk is your legal responsibility under health and safety law.

We make it simple. The Scottish Occupational Road Safety Alliance gives employers practical, ready-to-use resources to manage work-related road risk and stay compliant. Most of it applies wherever your drivers operate in the UK; our Scottish expertise - working directly with Police Scotland, the Scottish Government and the emergency services - is what you won't get anywhere else.

The difference ScORSA membership makes

Members don't just stay informed — they rewrite policies, win senior buy-in, and cut the number of collisions their people are involved in. Free to join, Transport Scotland funded, and delivered by RoSPA. More than 1,200 organisations are already members.

What members get out of it

  • 96% say membership increased their awareness of driving risk at work.
  • 73% identified practical actions to take forward in their organisation.
  • 44% improved or introduced a driving-for-work policy as a result.

Since joining, every member we surveyed felt confident managing driving risk at work — none felt unprepared.

What membership changes

Policies that actually get used

Nearly half of members create or improve a driving-for-work policy — adding pre-drive checks, licence and insurance checks, and cover for fatigue and grey fleet.

"Our driving policy, particularly when it comes to driver fatigue, is being shaped having used some of your information to do so."
— ScORSA member

Fewer collisions on the road

Members put best practice into action and see incidents fall over time.

"We totally changed how we look at things… we don't have the same amount of incidents that we used to."
— ScORSA member

The evidence to win over decision-makers

Members use ScORSA's research and plain-English guidance to make the case to managers, boards and unions — and get the buy-in they need.

"The training gave me the wording to push back when I've been trying to enforce the need for these policies to be in place."
— Fleet manager

Meet your duties, show your commitment

Membership helps organisations meet their legal duties for people who drive at work — and signals that road safety is taken seriously.

"I'm happy to align with ScORSA and proudly display membership material — it shows a clear commitment to the highest safety standards."
— ScORSA member
