The road haulage and distribution industry - overview

This SIM provides background information on the road haulage & distribution industry, including accidents and health issues, and inspection topics. It also explains the responsibilities of other regulatory bodies that exert control over the industry - this may assist inspectors in dealing with queries and complaints in areas where more specific legislation and other regulators are better placed to respond. The SIM mainly focuses on workplace risks, but there is also a section that gives references to HSE guidance on work related road risk.
