"These results are a stark reminder of the pressures faced by commercial drivers, impacting road safety for everyone. Europe's economy relies heavily on commercial vehicle drivers, yet stress is pushing them out of the industry and putting road safety at risk."
A Workforce in Crisis
The UK's professional driving workforce is facing a mental health emergency. Poor mental health costs UK employers £51 billion per year, and in the transport sector the fallout includes increased driver turnover, higher accident rates, declining service quality, elevated insurance premiums, and reputational damage from non-compliance with duty-of-care legislation.

Your Legal Duty of Care
The question is no longer whether you should act. It is whether you can afford not to.
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
Employers must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all employees — including mental health.
Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
Employers must assess and mitigate stress-related risks. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of statutory duty.
Equality Act 2010
Mental health conditions that have a substantial, long-term effect on daily activities may qualify as disabilities, requiring reasonable adjustments.
Corporate Manslaughter Act 2007
In extreme cases, a gross failure to manage driver wellbeing that results in death could lead to corporate manslaughter charges.
