BENEFITS
Employers have a duty to ensure the safety of workers when they’re on the job—whether that’s in the employer’s workplace or on the road. Road safety is obviously a big issue in certain industries, such as trucking. But if any of your workers have to drive as part of their jobs, then road safety is an issue for your company. In fact, motor vehicle incidents are a leading cause of work-related injuries and deaths. For example, 20 to 30% of all motor vehicle crashes in developed countries involve someone at work.
