Travel at Work
Description
This course is for everyone who has the responsibility for authorising members of staff to travel on University business. This includes fleet managers, those who authorise staff to drive pool vehicles or their own vehicles together with drivers of University vehicles. ‘Vehicles’ includes bicycles!
