Mental Health Training
Businesses are reported to lose between 70 – 100 billion dollars each year because of employees having lengthy sick absences due to mental health issues. To help the well-being of their staff, haulage firms need to conduct mental health awareness training – this will enable drivers to identify issues early and seek help before their symptoms worsen.
Enhancing working conditions
Lastly, it is important that the industry as a whole work together to improve overall conditions for HGV drivers. It is vital that there are adequate facilities for drivers to take their breaks and rest periods, as required by regulations.
This means that Local Authorities should recognise their critical role in the planning processes by approving applications for rest stops and convenient parking. Highways England should also work to transform the area it owns for the benefit of HGV drivers.
