Click the thumbs up >The Scottish Road Safety Framework has been published, which includes targeted action to reduce the number of accidents while driving for work.
Latest official data shows that 165 people were killed on Scotland’s roads in 2019, a reduction of 43%, while 2,016 people were seriously injured.
The road safety framework targets a 50% reduction in people killed and a 50% reduction in people seriously injured by 2030.
Health and Safety Executive (HSE) figures suggest that in 2018-19, driving accounted for 18 of the 29 work-related deaths in Scotland, making driving the most dangerous work activity.
The framework says that it must “strive for a future where no one is killed while driving/riding for work”.
