Approximately 18% of all road accident fatalities are caused by Drink Driving. Yet we, our drivers and machine operators all seem to think that "I've not drunk much – I'll be OK" A wrong assumption ! In fact only a very small quantity of alcohol is needed to upset our coordination, reactions, vision and concentration.

The majority of people like a drink as part of their social life – and there is nothing wrong with that – as long as you do not intend to drive or operate machinery afterwards. However, we can not all be trusted to make the right decision, especially after drinking alcohol. This is where Alcolock© GB can offer help. We distribute the lion DS®-10 Ignition Interlock System which will only allow your vehicle or equipment to be started if a breath sample is provided which is below the alcohol cut-off level which you have specified. The unit is derived from Lion's police breathalysers as used by the majority of UK forces, and is fitted easily within the space of about 90 minutes.

For the business user who needs to closely monitor their drivers, we can offer a web based management system which also offers instant SMS alerts to samples found to be above the cutoff value.

So be it for your company drivers, machine operators, your son or daughter or even you, it makes sense to keep them and the public safe from the consequences of Drink Driving. Call Alcolock© GB now for further information or see us on stand L54 at the Safety and Health Expo, 17-19 May 2011, NEC Birmingham.
