As we get older, we know our health deteriorates. Commercial drivers are statistically well below average with worse health conditions and more co-morbidities. As they retire, they are being replaced by younger drivers, but new research is showing this younger cohort to have even worse health than those they are replacing. This is unexpected but critical information for those managing driver health as it leads to poor performance, service disruption and higher costs through staff absence and significantly increased corporate risk.

Grant and Simon will discuss:

• The emerging trend for poorer health in younger staff
• Causation factors and the research backing this up
• The consequences of failing to address driver health
• Your corporate responsibilities in relation to driver health
• Key steps to help you start addressing the issues raised
