Employer transport driver risk assessment

Meet your Duty of Care and Health & Safety obligations. Score your management of driver and vehicle risk across the key areas an HSE or DVSA review would examine.

Assess how well you manage occupational road risk for your drivers and vehicles.

1. Do you check driving licences at risk-based intervals?

2. Do you verify Driver CPC and any required entitlements?

3. Are new drivers inducted and assessed before driving?

4. Do you provide ongoing driver training (e.g. walkaround, safe loading)?

5. Are drivers’ fitness, eyesight and medical declarations managed?

6. Is there a policy on mobile phones, fatigue and drink/drugs?

7. Are daily walkaround checks completed and defects reported?

8. Are vehicles serviced, inspected and MOT-compliant?

9. Is journey/route planning used to manage hours and fatigue risk?

10. Are accidents and near-misses recorded and investigated?

This self-assessment is a guide, not a substitute for a full DVSA-style audit. For a thorough, independent review, book a compliance audit.

Why driver risk assessment matters

Employers have a legal Duty of Care for staff who drive for work. A documented risk-management system protects your people, your vehicles and your Operator Licence. Read our HGV driver risk assessment guide.
