Fast Pass Training is designed to trim down some of the content focus on behavioral topics and offer more direction for leadership on implementation of a traffic safety culture. For those who have attended ODC Employer Transportation Safety Training in the past but would like a refresh, or are in need of a reminder on how to find free resources that can enhance your safety initiatives, this session is for you!
This training is for HR professionals, safety professionals/instructors, risk managers, supervisors and department leaders – anyone at your company who plays a role in safety and/or educating other employees. Traffic safety is for all of employees, not just those who drive professionally, and you’ll learn why it should be a key part of your health and wellness program.
Participants will receive a training fulfillment certificate via email.
Tuesday, Oct. 17: Pedestrian Safety is a Shared Responsibility. Register to attend now.
Almost every trip starts and ends with walking – making most of us pedestrians at some point during the day. We are most vulnerable walking in urban areas, crossing busy streets and negotiating traffic. Pedestrian injuries and fatalities in motor vehicle crashes affect employees, their families and your organization.
Transportation-related incidents are the leading cause of occupational fatalities. How do pedestrians fit into the traffic safety picture at your workplace? The Governors Highway Safety Association estimates 7,508 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in 2022, continuing the upward trend in recent years. Was one of them a coworker? Employers bear the brunt of crash costs, whether they occur on or off the job.
In this session, National Safety Council Program Manager April Ramos will discuss the top factors contributing to traffic crashes involving pedestrians, including driver inattention and speed. Countermeasures that organizations can incorporate into their safety cultures also will be a focus.

Free Employer Training
Given the enormous expense associated with crashes and injuries, it is necessary to train your employees to drive safely and develop a company-wide traffic safety program.
About half of all crash-related injuries result in days away from work, which can greatly impact employer costs, including:
- Health, life and disability insurance premiums
- Sick leave
- Contributions to workers’ compensation medical and disability insurance
- Liability insurance
- Crash-related legal expenses
- Lost productivity
- Recruiting and training to replace an injured employee
Our Driving Concern offers a free training program to teach your employees the basics of traffic safety and help prevent costly crashes. Our Driving Concern Transportation Safety Training teaches skills in conjunction with a traffic safety curriculum to address driver behaviors that are costly to Texas employers. This training is great for HR professionals, safety professionals, supervisors, instructors and other staff.
