Slightly off course here but is there a specific number of employees that a company reaches when it has to provide somewhere to buy food (canteen, vending machine, etc..) rather than just heating facilities?

Thank you for all the replies and offers of driving course help, it's all been a great help.
I have spoken to 'them upstairs' about my concerns to do with the delivery and they agreed with me. We're going to start sending it by freight now as it takes away a lot of the worry and they agree with me that someone who seems to take pride in speeding and unsafe driving shouldn't be trusted to deliver for us no matter how many courses he's been on.
It's taken a great weight off of my mind so thatnks everyone for the tips and help.

He he, no it's not china. We don't use Royal Mail as they have lost too many of our deliveries in the past and not once have we ever got any money back despite insurance on the delivery, etc... but I'm going off on a tangent.
The products we deliver personally are bottles so although the mixture and bottles itself and not overly expensive they are extremly heavy. I shall have a talk with the bosses about sorting something out with this as I really don't feel comfortable with the current situation. Thanks for the good advice on the driving courses, I shall check them out.

There would be no point in getting a courier to take it as the cost of the delivery would be far higher than the cost of the items they would be delivering. It's also much higher than the cost of hiring the van and the staff wages. He is the only member of staff that can really do the job as the other two members of staff who drive are needed here all day. My worry comes from the fact that he has admitted to other staff that he rarely keeps to the speed limit or wears a seatbelt, I've only just found this out which is why I'm now having my doubts about letting him do the deliveries.

Recently we are needing the occasional delivery made for the business which is carried out by a member of staff and we hire a van for the purpose. My main worry is if he has an accident whilst on the delivery and hurts either himself or someone else what does this mean for us?
I assume we would be responsible as it was for business purposes.
Any advice would be gratefully received as we have only just started doing this delivery and it may become a regular thing. What sort of things do I need in place before it does get more frequent?
