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. To address these issues, Our Driving Concern program offers free and customized solutions. 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 Ohio Traffic Safety Office to promote safe driving practices, both on and off the job. Through free resources, including training, employers are better able to understand risky driving behaviors 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 Ohio, transportation incidents are the leading cause of occupational fatalities at 39%. The Our Driving Concern program emphasizes employee training, multi-faceted ongoing education and messaging to promote safe driving behaviors and make the roads safer for everyone.
