There are a few steps you can take to ensure that your company is operating in accordance with UK law.

• Check your employees’ driving licenses. Although this step seems obvious, many employers forget to do so.
• Implement a policy for regular license checks. Establishing such a routine within your company is a good practice, and it ensures that any unchecked licenses will never be overlooked.
• Identify any “At Risk” drivers. It is highly important to know which drivers you should keep an eye on. This includes new drivers, elderly drivers, repeat or serious traffic offenders, those with certain medical conditions, and drivers affected by medication.

These are three simple yet essential measures that every company employing drivers should take. Without taking these three things into consideration, it could put you and your company at risk of fines or prosecution.
