Les hopes his unique, engaging and innovative approach will allow businesses to become more aware of the serious effects that lack of management in this area can cause and how a small number of simple steps can achieve benefits and legal compliance.
The model he has produced is ‘The Driving Lottery’, acknowledging that many regard driving as a bit of lottery when considering the risks we face on our roads today. Driving IS a lottery unless it is managed - the trouble is that even though employers may have people driving for work, they may take a ‘lucky dip’ approach and hope for the best, or they may opt for a ‘rollover’ and put off any thought of lessening the risk their drivers and businesses face.
Others go for the ‘bonus ball’ and may flick through a manual or report. It is only those who take the management of driving for work risk seriously and want to do something about it that hit the ‘jackpot’.
The Driving Lottery takes a broad view of what a business may or may not be doing and asks the business seven questions regarding their activity in addressing this risk
Each Driving Lottery response allocates a lottery number and this corresponds with an assessment and advice as to how likely the business is to ‘win’ the lottery by having everything in place regarding driving for work risk
The Driving Lottery features Driving Risk Matters ‘Must-Should-Could’ methodology that looks at what businesses, Must do - what is legally enforceable, Should do - what provides business benefit and Could do - to promote corporate and social responsibility, in order to manage this important but neglected risk, which is assessed to account for over 1000 road deaths per year in the UK.
