Driving at Work (INDG 382) an HSE publication strongly recommends that drivers licences are checked when they join a company, when first joining the company, and periodically thereafter.
Company managers or the individual with delegated responsibility for licence checking is personally responsible under the Road Traffic Act if they allow someone to drive a vehicle they are not entitled to drive. Periodic, systematic licence checks provide an answer to this problem.
Section 87 (2) Road Traffic Act 1988
It is an offence for a person to cause or permit another person to drive on a road a motor vehicle of any class if that other person is not the holder of a licence authorising him to drive a motor vehicle of that class.S.87 (2) Road Traffic Act 1988.
