Our Driving Concern Ohio

Employer Traffic Safety Awards

New to Ohio this year, Our Driving Concern will honor Ohio employers through a unique awards recognition program.

Traffic safety awards will be presented to Ohio organizations that encourage positive driver behaviors among employees on and off the job. The goal is to decrease injuries and fatalities that are a result of crashes on Ohio roads.

Our Driving Concern is a program of the National Safety Council, funded through grants from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office. The program’s mission is to assist employers in implementing well-developed policies and comprehensive workplace programs that can help reduce traffic crashes.

The workplace is a natural setting for distributing traffic safety messages and discussing driver behaviors — and it makes dollars and sense to do just that. Here’s why: By developing company policies, providing education and offering incentives, employers can save lives and save money.
