Work-related
traffic crashes continue to be the leading cause of death
for employees in the U.S. workforce. Deaths and injuries from
these crashes result in increased costs to employers and lost
productivity. They bring needless pain and suffering to family,
friends, and co-workers. Do you know your risk?
NETS 10-Step System
The
10-Step program provides guidance to both public and private
sector organizations in developing, establishing or improving
traffic safety programs for their employees. The guidelines
are intended as a basis for developing an organization-specific
plan.
Who's
Driving?: A Distracted Driving Training Program
Driver
distraction is a contributing factor in 25-50% of all crashes,
causing an estimated 4,000 to 8,000 traffic crashes each
day. Employers must implement a proactive training program
to enable employees to identify potential distractions while
driving and develop techniques and strategies to better
manage and minimize these distractions. Who's Driving? reinforces
the need for employees to making driving their number one
responsibility when behind the wheel.
Seat
BeltAmerica: An Employer Buckle-up Initiative
Employers
have a crucial role to play in increasing seat belt use and
safeguarding their employees - their most vital asset. Seat
belts are the most valuable safety device in a motor vehicle
and the most effective means of reducing injuries and fatalities
in a crash. They are the best defense against the risky driving
drivers on our roadways.
Asleep
at the Wheel? A Wake-Up Call for Fatigued Drivers
Being
overextended at trying to "do it all" and "have
it all," often means operating on less than the optimal
amount of sleep. Help your employees to avoid driving fatigued
by incorporating fatigue management into your safety programs.
