Around one third of all road crashes involves drivers using their vehicle for work.
New figures from the Road Safety Authority show that approximately 75 people die in work-related road crashes in Ireland each year.
The figures were revealed today at the start of a road safety campaign from the RSA and the Health and Safety Authority aimed at making employers aware of their responsibility to ensure the safety of their staff on the roads.
Chief Executive of the Road Safety Authority Noel Brett said: 'The driving for work guidelines will assist employers manage their staff's road safety.
'It provides an overview of legislation, how to carry out risk assessments and highlights the significant benefits for businesses and the wider community when work related road safety is managed effectively.'
