Clocks going back may test risk management strategies
Companies that prioritise risk management might want to brief drivers on the increased dangers they may face once the clocks go back, after hearing the comments of one charity.
According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (Rospa), darker evenings can make it much harder to spot pedestrians stepping out into the road.
In light of this, drivers may need to be especially vigilant at this time of year.
Chief executive of Rospa Tom Mullarkey also called on the government to play its part in helping to make roads safer.
He claimed the country's leaders should give serious consideration to introducing a Single Double Summer Time system.
This would mean the clocks were one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time in winter and two hours in front during the lighter months.
Mr Mullarkey stated: "It is time for the issue to come off the shelf and for the full implications to be considered. A three-year trial could answer many of the questions."
In other news, Rospa recently called on more motorists to think about signing up for refresher training.
