This report, one of a series on road transport, covers examples and practices in campaigning and awareness-raising in the sector. When the Governing Board of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) chose road transport as their priority for collecting good practice examples, they did so for good reason. Not only does the sector have a high accident rate, according to European Union statistics, but it is also characterised by some special features that must be borne in mind: businesses operating within a chain, from supplier to delivery point, involving various employers; older and highly experienced drivers and managers, which is a definite advantage but on the other hand means they can be sceptical about change; lone-working away from a fixed base; and the challenge of reaching drivers on the road. However, as the examples show, with due attention to the characteristics of the sector and the full involvement of those who work in it, it is possible to have an impact and raise awareness and promote good practice in occupational safety and health.
