Workplace Road Safety
Whether you are travelling between sites, heading to a meeting, or picking up a morning coffee, ensure your occupational drivers stay safe on the road with our workplace driver safety program, Drive It Home here at Road Sense.
Our Drive It Home program helps occupational drivers reduce the risk of road crashes through an interactive learning experience designed to enhance their knowledge and understanding of road safety principles. Road Sense Australia offers organisations the chance to incorporate road and driver safety into their work health and safety policies.


The importance of workplace road safety programs
Road crashes are one of the most common causes of work-related fatalities, injuries and absence from work. In Australia, 42% of work fatalities are a direct result of vehicle incidents. This is more than triple the number of fatalities across any other classification. Occupational drivers face many of the same risks as other road users. Speeding, fatigue, poor environmental conditions, driver distraction, and drugs and alcohol are among the most significant risks to employee drivers.
What is Drive It Home?
The Drive It Home program has been developed to address critical components of road safety, tailored specifically to meet the needs of occupational drivers. We understand that organisational requirements vary based on both internal and external factors. Therefore, Drive It Home is structured into various modules, each covering a range of topics and thoughtfully designed to group relevant areas of learning together.

Why Choose Road Sense?
As a trusted non-profit that has helped over 60,000 drivers become safer road users, we bring our extensive experience from local communities into the occupational driver context.

Drive It Home offers numerous direct benefits to businesses by focusing on reducing the risks of motor vehicle collisions and the costs associated with traffic offences. By integrating our workplace driver safety program, businesses can:
Reduce the Risk of Motor Vehicle Collisions: By educating drivers on road safety principles and best practices, the program helps decrease the likelihood of collisions. This leads to safer journeys for employees and reduced downtime caused by vehicle repairs and injury recovery.
Ensure Smoother Operations: Minimising road incidents leads to fewer disruptions in daily operations, ensuring that employees can carry out their tasks efficiently and on time.
Lower Operational Costs: With fewer crashes and traffic offences, businesses can significantly reduce expenses related to vehicle maintenance, insurance premiums, and legal fees. This results in substantial cost savings over time.
Enhance Employee Productivity: Safe driving practices contribute to the overall well-being and confidence of employees. When employees feel secure and knowledgeable about their driving responsibilities, they are more focused and productive, contributing positively to the business’s efficiency.
Improve Reputation and Corporate Responsibility: Adopting the Drive It Home program demonstrates a commitment to employee safety and responsible business practices. This can enhance the company’s reputation, making it an attractive option for clients, partners, and prospective employees who value safety and responsibility.
Ensure Compliance with Safety Regulations: Integrating road safety into work health and safety policies can help ensure that businesses are complying with any legal and regulatory requirements. This can help avoid penalties and fosters a culture of safety within the organisation.
Customise their Training Modules: The program’s modular structure allows businesses to tailor the training to their specific needs, ensuring that all relevant safety topics are covered effectively. This flexibility ensures that the training is relevant and impactful for all employees.
Invest in Long-Term Benefits: Investing in driver safety training has long-term benefits, including fostering a culture of safety, reducing the environmental impact of vehicle use through better driving practices, and promoting a proactive approach to risk management.
Enhance Employee Safety and Well-Being: A strong focus on road safety helps protect employees from harm, contributing to a healthier, more motivated workforce. This can lead to increased job satisfaction and lower absenteeism rates.
Promote Sustainable Practices: Safe driving habits contribute to more efficient fuel usage and reduced vehicle emissions, supporting broader environmental sustainability goals.
Provide Valuable Data and Insights: Road Sense can provide tracking and reporting tools that offer insights into driver behaviour and program effectiveness, allowing businesses to make informed decisions and continuously improve their safety strategies.
