Why do ScORSA Exist
Operating a vehicle ranks among the riskiest work tasks. Annual data indicates that approximately 20% of accidents involve individuals driving as part of their job duties.
In Scotland, 67% of workers use cars for their daily commute, while professions such as delivery drivers involve driving as a core aspect of their employment. Legally, employers must regard commuting as they would any other workplace hazard, conducting thorough risk assessments and implementing feasible measures to mitigate these dangers.
