Do your employees transport equipment? Work in roadways? Drive to and from sales calls? Drive on company time or a company-owned vehicle? If so, a driver safety program is a must.
A workplace motor vehicle crash costs an employer more than $24,000. If the employee is injured, the cost increases to more than $125,000.
Off-the-job crashes are especially costly, accounting for 80% of employer crash-related health fringe benefit costs and 92% of employer crash-related health care costs.
