It’s week 2 of National Safety Month, and we’re here to join the safety folks around the country in focusing on roadway safety. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of workplace death. During the second week of National Safety Month, we are focusing on how to stay safe behind the wheel.
For companies with fleets or employees frequently on the road, prioritizing roadway safety is essential. It not only protects employees from one of the leading causes of workplace injuries and fatalities but also safeguards the company’s reputation and financial health. Effective roadway safety measures can reduce accidents, lower insurance costs, and promote a culture of safety. And demonstrating your commitment to roadway safety not only ensures compliance but also reflects a company’s dedication to employee welfare and social responsibility.
