Organised by road safety charity Brake, this year's theme, Safe People on the Move, focuses on how our behaviour affects the safety of ourselves and others on the roads.
For employers, the campaign is an opportunity to review work-related driving risks and consider how they can better protect employees who drive as part of their role.
Brake is providing free campaign resources, including toolkits, videos, infographics and social media materials to help organisations get involved.
Its Safe People on the Move resources explore driving behaviours, the hierarchy of road users and how employers can raise awareness and review workplace driving policies.
A free webinar on Wednesday 18 November at 10am will also offer practical advice for organisations employing people who drive for work. Topics include driver fatigue, distraction, impairment and how vehicle technology can help address risky behaviours.
Road Safety Week begins on Sunday 15 November, which also marks World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.
Brake is encouraging people to remember those who have lost their lives or suffered life-changing injuries through memorial events, fundraising and its Memory Mile campaign.
The initiative invites supporters to walk in memory of someone they have lost, choosing a route and distance that holds personal meaning.
Work-related driving risks will also feature at The Health & Safety Event 2027, taking place from 27–29 April at the NEC Birmingham.
As part of the Driver Safety Zone, delivered in partnership with Driving for Better Business, visitors can hear from leading experts through presentations and panel discussions covering legislation updates, driver fatigue, distraction, staff culture, vehicle safety and more.
The programme will explore practical ways employers can improve driver safety and protect their people.
Road Safety Week is a reminder that everyone has a part to play in making our roads safer. For employers, this starts with creating a workplace culture that supports safer driving and puts employee wellbeing first.
