Duty of Care
Here at Mazda we are confident that our cars incorporate the latest technology and an excellent range of safety features to help keep drivers safe. Our active safety systems which feature across all our models ensure that our vehicles handle well and remain stable under braking - major contributors to safety. Our commitment to safety is further emphasised by features such as Dynamic Stability Control which is standard across the whole Mazda6 range.
All employers have a duty of care towards their employees to maintain their health and safety whilst at work. Although the motor vehicle is not yet a formal extension of the workplace, the Health & Safety Executive has confirmed that the health and safety regulations do apply when it comes to vehicles being driven for work purposes.
It is therefore incumbent upon employers to do everything practical to ensure that employees are equipped to drive in a safe manner. This includes ensuring that both they and the vehicle are not only legal but fit for purpose.
For full information on Duty of Care please view the full text of the Heath & Safety Executive's publication 'DRIVING AT WORK. MANAGING WORK-RELATING ROAD SAFETY" which can be viewed online at the HSE government website.
