Regulatory and legal risks are all too common in the Haulage Sector and these risks are growing all the time.
The HSE can shut down your business and charge you for doing so; the DVSA can investigate your drivers; the Traffic Commissioner can revoke your operating licence. Are your drivers working too many hours? Have any of them been speeding? Are their contracts up to date and legal? What if they’re involved in a fatal accident?
Do you have the funds or the knowledge to defend yourself from such issues as HSE prosecutions, Corporate Manslaughter Claims or Licensing Decisions by the Traffic Commissioner? Can you afford to take valuable time off to attend court or police interviews?
The only way to reduce these risks and make sure your business can survive anything that’s thrown at it is to get the right support before things reach a crisis point.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with AXA and rradar, a new and radically different law firm, to provide advice, guidance, templates and support for you to help you spot problems and deal with them before they become crises.
