Managing drivers has become very complex, with legislative and social expectations meaning mistakes can be very costly for organisations. The only way for your organisation to have certainty is to ensure you have a driver management program focused on compliance.

Murcotts Business Driver Management Program covers the key areas of:

Driver management systems audit
Policy development and implementation
Driver & vehicle Risk Management
Recruitment
Induction
Training and Education
Performance development and review
Vehicle risk management
Crash Investigation

Driving is a routine part of many roles, and Work Health and Safety laws recognise that vehicles and roads form part of the workplace. Employees who drive for work must therefore be managed within the organisation’s broader WHS systems.

Murcotts helps organisations meet their duty‑of‑care obligations by building a strong driver safety culture. This includes clear policies, effective leadership, and practical strategies for managing driver and vehicle risk.

Risk assessments for vehicles and drivers demonstrate that safety policies are being applied. Leaders reinforce safety values by embedding them in business plans and modelling the behaviours they expect from others.

A genuine safety culture exists when most people consistently act on these values. Murcotts provides services that support managers and staff to understand, adopt, and demonstrate safe driving behaviours.

WHS legislation requires employers to assess and control risks in all work tasks—including driving.

Risk Assessment is a technique for managing safety by:

Identifying the hazards in a task or work activity
Deciding what and how harm or damage could be caused to employees or assets
Assessing the risk or likelihood of harm or damage occurring
Determining what hazard control actions are needed to prevent or minimise the potential harm or damage
Monitoring to ensure that the hazard has been managed effectively.

Murcotts can assist you to develop risk assessments for your drivers. We have standard guides to add to your position descriptions that address the driving component of the employees work role.
