Road Saftey at Work

In today’s Virtual Breakfast Forum, Trace Acres, the Executive Director at Road Safety at Work, spoke about the importance of increasing the safety of employees driving. 

Motor vehicle incidents are the single leading cause of traumatic workplace death in BC (30%), and 18 people are killed every year in BC in vehicle workplace incidents.  The aim of the Road Safety at Work organization is to help employers increase the safety of employees driving.  

A work driver is defined as any employee who drives a vehicle, it could be a company owned or leased vehicle, or it could be their own vehicle.  Road Safety at Work has many free resources for employers, including toolkits, tailgate meeting guides, online courses, webinars, workshops, and templates.
