“…It is said that, for example, transport buyers and forwarding agents are likely to put pressure on/stress drivers. This means that drivers take greater risks while driving due to tight time margins for assignments [5,9,18]. Transport buyers and forwarding agents can also influence safe road transport through the requirements they set.…”

“…It is stated that third-parties such as governmental and regulatory bodies must develop and enforce laws and regulations in line with road transport organizations and driver challenges [6]. Other third parties such as buyers of road transport services must be made aware of their power to influence road safety and to set requirements that do not reduce safety levels [5,9]. The road transport organizations by which the drivers are contracted must facilitate good conditions for drivers.…”

“…As a consequence, new research focuses increasingly on a systematic approach to reducing accidents involving HGVs. This means that accidents that do occur are not solely the driver's responsibility [5]. A crash caused by fatigue, for example, might not solely be the driver's fault, but could also be due to the supervisor's lack of involvement in route planning, or the type of compensation method used to align performance objectives with drivers' payment.…”

Road traffic accidents are a major health concern all over the world. Each year, 1.3 million people die in fatal road traffic accidents. Fatal and serious heavy goods vehicle (HGV) crashes are over-represented in many countries. This paper is a contribution to the road safety literature and has two aims. First, the study seeks to identify important factors in managing road safety for work-related driving of HGVs. Second, the study proposes an overall framework for how safety training could be executed and its overall content. Methods used were a literature review and a case study. The results show that important factors for management of road safety could be arranged at different levels: governmental level, third-party level, organizational level and driver level. Most important is that a systematic approach to road traffic safety for HGVs is essential. Every party is jointly responsible for road traffic safety, and parties must communicate and work together to increase road traffic safety for work-related driving of HGVs. By developing a safety training program for all parties in the system, the study proposes a method for increased communication, collaboration and cooperation between parties.
