Limited actions
Thus, 68% of them have not integrated the road risk into the Single Document, which identifies the business risks and the measures to limit them. This mention is most common in the construction industry (39%).
However, when the few companies engage in reducing the risks associated with the road, their actions remain very limited, we read in the survey. Regular verification of vehicles made available to employees (85%) is the most widely applied measure, followed by verification of driving licenses (75%). But in terms of risk prevention, nothing, or very little, appears (charter of good practices, breathalyzer training sessions at start-up, etc.).
Voluntarism
On the other hand, many companies (32%) apply full disconnection during a business trip. Most of them wish to engage in more road safety, by emphasizing the risks associated with the telephone and drinking and driving.
Their weak involvement is not necessarily linked to a lack of will: 45% of the managers questioned explained that they simply did not think about the need to strengthen road safety within their structure.
