The Roadway as an Extension of the Workplace: Reducing Risk and Saving Money (Room 232)

Transportation is one of the most important parts of an employer’s safety program, yet it often is the most overlooked. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of unintentional workplace deaths, and an average workplace motor vehicle crash costs employers more than $24,000. If the employee is injured, the average cost increases to more than $125,000. Employers spend billions of dollars every year as a result of on- and off-the job traffic injuries and fatalities. In this session, we’ll discuss why a good program is not costly, saves money, can be easy to implement and provides many benefits.
