In this session, we focus on a critical but often overlooked issue in the industry: diabetes.

Did you know that professional drivers are twice as likely to develop diabetes? A new industry report, developed with the Road Haulage Association (RHA), reveals how this growing health issue could impact road safety, employment practices, and operator compliance.

We’ll be covering:

• Fitness to drive – Why understanding diabetes matters to safe operations
• Employment law – What “reasonable adjustments” might look like in your business
• Regulatory risk – Could you be criminally liable if you should have known?
• Practical guidance – New employer-focused tips to manage diabetes risk in your workforce
