The Scottish Occupational Road Safety Alliance (ScORSA) has announced a programme of webinars examining key issues affecting people who drive and ride for work.
The programme covers topics ranging from collision investigation and driver fitness to vulnerable road users, mental health and the management of impairment. Registration for each session can be accessed via the ScORSA website.
The next webinar, on 27 October 2026, will focus on data-driven fleet safety and technology, including the use of telematics, AI-powered risk prediction and in-vehicle safety systems.
A further session on 8 December will examine drink and drug impairment, focusing on how organisations can manage impairment risks both in the workplace and when employees are driving for work.
The programme will continue in 2027 with a webinar on learning from collisions and collision review boards. The session will look at how organisations can identify patterns and root causes following collisions and use the findings to determine preventative actions, including changes to training, policies and operational practices.
Other planned sessions include:
- Fitness to Drive – examining eyesight, medical conditions and driver health, including diabetes.
- Protecting Vulnerable Road Users – looking at measures to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users.
- Mental Health and Wellbeing – focusing on supporting the mental health and wellbeing of people who drive for work.
ScORSA also plans to hold a live event in May 2027, in Edinburgh, displaying a Mock Collision Review Board followed by an Interactive Summit – putting the collision-review framework into practice.
ScORSA says its webinars are designed to provide employers with practical guidance on managing work-related road risk. The programme provides free resources, training, research, case studies and campaigns for businesses, with more than 1,200 organisations currently members.
The programme also has a library of recorded webinars covering subjects including speed management, driver fatigue, winter driving, artificial intelligence, work-related road traffic collisions, vehicle loading and unloading, and driving-for-work strategies.
ScORSA is delivered by RoSPA and funded by Transport Scotland, and says its support is aimed particularly at small and medium-sized businesses without dedicated fleet or safety teams.
