Stay Safe on the Road: Safety Tips for Travelling To and From Work

At Safety4Work, we know that safety isn’t just something that starts when you walk onto the job site. It begins the moment you leave home—and it matters just as much on the journey home at the end of the day.

Whether you're driving, cycling, walking, or using public transport, these simple safety tips can help protect you and your team before and after every shift.

🚗 Top Travel Safety Tips for Getting To and From Work

1. Allow extra time
Running late leads to rushing—and rushing leads to risky decisions. Leaving 5–10 minutes earlier can help you stay calm and drive safe.

2. Obey road rules
Stick to speed limits, follow signage, and drive according to weather and traffic conditions. It’s not worth the shortcut if it comes with danger.

3. Buckle up, always
Seatbelts save lives. It’s a non-negotiable for every journey, even if it’s a short one.

4. Stay off your phone
Distractions are one of the biggest contributors to road accidents. Keep your phone out of reach or use hands-free only if absolutely necessary.

5. Rest before driving
Driving tired is just as dangerous as driving under the influence. If you’re feeling drowsy, pull over, rest, or find an alternative way home.

6. For cyclists or walkers
Wear high-visibility clothing, stick to well-lit routes, and stay aware of your surroundings. Don’t assume drivers can see you—make yourself visible.

🧠 Why This Matters

Each year, road incidents account for a significant number of worker injuries—and fatalities. Encouraging travel safety helps reduce these risks and shows that your business genuinely cares about employee wellbeing, on and off the clock.

🛠️ Make Safety a Daily Habit

Work safe. Travel safe. Get home safe.
From the moment you leave the house to the moment you return, your safety matters.
