Helpful Tips: Distracted Driving

July 15, 2018

Distracted driving remains a major daily issue across roads and highways. Statistics show distracted driving causes 25% of all motor vehicle fatalities. On a daily basis, there will be more than ten fatalities and 1,000 injuries from distracted driving. It is imperative that companies institute a cell phone and distracted driving policy into existing safety programs. Ensure employees understand the dangers of texting (and other distractions) while driving and remind them to watch for motorcyclists and pedestrians. This includes companies with commercial motor vehicles (there is a federal ban on cell phone use in CMVs) and employees who travel for company business.  For more safety tips, check out our Safety Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS5zt_qG9rDdhG-BDCzCBAw
