Employers should consider four elements of driving safety when developing an occupational driving safety program: the roadway workplace, the driver, the vehicle and the environment.

If your employees are in a motorized vehicle as part of their job, you should consider the vehicle and roadway as an extension of your workplace.

The Driver
If your employees operate a motorized vehicle as part of their job, you should be aware of and combat the common causes of roadway crashes and related injuries.

The Vehicle
If your company has a fleet, or if employees drive personal or leased vehicles as part of their job, you should ensure that the vehicles are mechanically sound and operating properly.

The Environment
If your employees are in a motorized vehicle as part of their job, they should be prepared for conditions outside of the vehicle that might affect their trip.

Limit your risk
For employees who drive as a primary function of their job or for a portion of their job duties, roadways and work zones are likely the most dangerous part of their work environment.

To minimize the occurrence
• implement effective occupational driving safety programs that address driving and vehicular hazards.
• implement and enforce written safety programs and policies for working in and around motor vehicles.

Liability has been found even:
• when employers have had cell phone policies in
place;
• when drivers of company cars were on personal
errands;
• when employee were making personal calls on
company supplied phones;
• and even when employees were using personal
phones and driving personal cars, when the
distraction was business-related.
