Mike Stockton, senior asset control manager at Royal Mail vehicle services, told delegates at the conference that the organisation saw "three main areas of risk: the journey, the driver and the vehicle".

Stockton said "The information we have enables us to make interventions.
"We still have a long way logo, but we are heading in the right direction and we will not be satisfied until we get the level down to zero."
Delegates then saw a shocking series of photos showing the wreckage of trucks operated by Royal Mail, where the driver had been fatally injured.
"It's not about numbers on a spreadsheet for a firm, it is family members who are affected by any tragedy," Stockton added.
