In construction, every day brings new challenges, jobs, and locations. At Shareridge, we’ve identified driving for work as one of the key risks our team faces. Did you know that people driving for work are 40% more likely to be involved in a crash? In fact, driving for work plays a role in one in three road accidents annually.
Driving for work includes all journeys made for work—whether it’s heading to a site, meeting a client, delivering materials, or traveling between locations. The risks are real, and the statistics on Irish roads are alarming.
What is Shareridge doing?
🔹 Vehicle Maintenance: We stress regular checks to prevent crashes due to defects—6-8% of injury-causing crashes in Ireland are due to preventable vehicle issues.
🔹 EHS Insight App: This tool makes it easy to report vehicle issues, ensuring prompt fixes and safer journeys.
