Crashes on and off the job have far-reaching financial and psychological effects on employees, their coworkers and families, and their employers. You need a driver safety program: To save lives and to reduce the risk of life-altering injuries within your workforce; To protect your organization's human and financial Resources; To guard against potential company and personal liabilities associated with crashes involving employees driving on company business. Your program should work to keep the driver and those with whom he/she shares the road safe. And, if necessary, the program must work to change driver attitudes, improve behavior, and increase skills to build a “be safe” culture. By instructing your employees in basic safe driving practices and then rewarding safety-conscious behavior, you can help your employees and their families avoid tragedy. Employees are an employer's most valuable assets. Workplace driver safety programs not only make good business sense but also are a good employee relations tool, demonstrating that employers care about their employees. This booklet outlines ten steps for building a driver safety program in your workplace. These steps will be useful to any organization regardless of size of the organization, type of traffic encountered, number of vehicles involved, or whether employees drive company or personal vehicles for work purposes.

Book excerpt: "Long distance car driving for work purposes is an area that has not specifically been targeted by employers or industry bodies. Extensive research has occurred in relation to various aspects of vehicle driving, however this has been mostly related to the heavy vehicle industry. What is available in the form of employer or industry based preventative initiatives generally covers no more than a few risks or hazards, such as fatigue management strategies. With statistics showing us that on average, 6 people pe week are killed as a result of work-related vehicle accidents, the importance of further work being completed in this area cannot be underestimated. A literature review was conducted in order to examine in detail the multitude of hazards and risks employees are exposed to while traveling long distances for work purposes . Information was obtained from a variety of journals and publications, internet web sites, legislative documents, WorkCover authorities and discussions with relevant industry bodies and organisations. Findings of this literature search identified four potential hazards as sources of injury, and twenty-one potential risk factors that increased the risks of injury, all associated with vehicle driving for work purposes. Various measures to control these hazards and risks have been identified which includes the use of a legislative framework for hazard management, in the form of the hierarchy of controls. One of the key findings being the contradiction between the philosophies of workplace safety legislation that aim to make the environment safe and road laws that focus on safe behaviors. ......................." -- Abstract.
