DID YOU KNOW?
22% of workplace deaths are from work-related vehicle incidents. [1] Whether you’re commuting or driving for work, the risk is real — and preventable.
KNOW THE RISK
- In the U.S., motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of injury and death across all age groups. [2]
- More than 100 people die each day in vehicle crashes. Thousands more suffer serious, life-altering injuries. [2]
- Despite the danger, many crashes are preventable through better habits, awareness, and road etiquette.
MITIGATE THE RISK
1. Never Drive While Impaired or Distracted
- Alcohol, drugs (including some prescriptions), and distractions like texting greatly increase crash risk. Stay focused and alert behind the wheel.
2. Buckle Up — Everyone, Every Time
- Ensure all passengers use seatbelts or proper child restraints. It’s one of the simplest ways to save lives.
3. Stay Calm and Obey Speed Limits
- Aggressive driving and speeding reduce your ability to react safely. Keep a safe following distance and follow all posted signs.
4. Avoid Driving at Night or in Poor Weather Conditions
- Low visibility and slick roads increase accident risk. Delay trips if possible, or use extra caution in tough conditions.
ROAD SAFETY REMINDER
Every time you get behind the wheel, you have the power to prevent a crash. Drive defensively, plan ahead, and make safety your co-pilot. Lives depend on it — including yours.
