'It's time to end the hidden scandal of work-related deaths on the road,' Monks said. 'Along with 12,000 serious injuries and 70,000 lesser injuries, this adds up to a cost of £3.7bn to society and £2.7bn to employers.
He said that work-related driving should be treated as a health and safety issue for which employers should carry out risk assessments and develop good practices.
'It is clearly a criminal act that they should put their staff and others at risk by not managing the safety of their employees at work on the road.'
