The annual safety campaign, sponsored by NETS, will focus this year on preventing distracted driving and promoting eco-friendly driving.
Each year, U.S. employers spend billions on traffic accidents involving workers who didn’t wear a seat belt. And some workers are more likely to ditch the belt than others.
The annual campaign promotes safe-driving education and awareness to all employees — company drivers and commuters alike.
Speeding resulted in $8.4 billion in crash-related expenses, with distracted driving close behind at $8.2 billion, according to a new report from NETS.
This year's theme is “#PlanAhead – Your Key to Driving Safely.”
The Network of Employers for Traffic Safety is offering free online materials to promote this year’s safety campaign in October.
Chad Fay, director of Fleet Operations for NPL Construction Company, received the annual Fleet Safety Award. Jack Hanley, executive director of NETS, received the Lifetime Fleet Safety Award.
From driver training and safety meetings to one-on-one coaching and incentive programs, several small fleets share how they have developed a safety culture with their drivers - using low- to no-cost resources.
The event will include educational sessions on such topics as distracted driving prevention, professional networking opportunities and presentation of the Fleet Safety Award.
The publication was produced by a committee of members from NETS' Board of Directors, drawing from their companies' road safety best practices, in addition to publicly available resources.
