APPRECIATE the value of a Safe Driving Program for your employees:

• Collisions can adversely affect your employees, their families, the community and your company.
• Collisions cost money; costs include (but are not limited to) medical care, legal expenses, property damage, lost productivity, and a negative public image.
• Prevention of work related motor vehicle injuries is a matter of workplace safety.

RECOGNIZE the benefits of managing your occupational Road Safety Program:

• Prevention of injuries and fatalities.
• Reduced costs including (but not limited to) claims, legal action, fines, insurance, retraining, rehiring, vehicle replacements, damage to cargo and property.
• Increased satisfied customers as a result of fewer missed orders due to non-delivery or missed meetings.
• Improved safety culture.
• Increased promotion of safe driving behaviours both on and off the job.

Included below are some resources developed by the Transportation Health and Safety Association (THSAO) which have been designed to help you manage your occupational Road Safety Programs.

These checklists can help you to identify and assess your risk for motor vehicle collisions. You may also find them useful for developing programs to promote safe driving in the workplace.
