Why the concern?
Crash incidents are one of the primary causes of work-related injuries and fatalities.
These incidents open the door to increased employer costs and the potential for exposure to liability. Our Driving Concern program offers free and customized solutions to address impairment-related driving issues. Our team has experience collaborating with employers of all sizes across all industries.
Return on Investment
Employers who invest in roadway safety are able to address issues related to vehicle crash costs, including property damage, costs of insurance premiums and productivity losses due to lost workdays as well as medical, legal and administrative expenses. Out of 350 employers surveyed by NSC, the majority express concerns about risks like alcohol, opioids, mental health disorders, and stress, emphasizing the need for impairment safety prioritization. More than half of these employers note impairment’s negative impact on workforce safety. Roadway safety programs reduce costs and save lives.
Our Driving Concern:
Your Turnkey Solution
Prevent fatalities and injuries and reduce the economic cost of crashes.
The Our Driving Concern Employer Transportation Safety Program is a program of the National Safety Council that works in cooperation with the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission to promote safe driving practices, both on and off the job. Through free resources, including training, employers are better able to understand impairment-related driving issues and use proven methods to prevent crashes, ultimately saving lives and reducing costs.
Car crashes affect not only the individual worker but also their family members and their coworkers. In Louisiana, transportation incidents are the leading cause of occupational fatalities at 37%. The Our Driving Concern program emphasizes employee training, multi-faceted ongoing education, and messaging to address impairment-related driving concerns and make the roads safer for everyone.
