Wednesday, April 5 (2-3 p.m. CT): Top Things Every Manager Should Know about Safety. Register to attend now.
Safety is a manager’s most important responsibility. Creating a culture of safety is critical to the safety of your drivers and the overall success of your business. Where should managers concentrate their time and attention? In this webinar, Brian Fielkow, consultant, speaker, author and executive vice president of risk resources for Acrisure, will answer that question. He will reveal the top things every manager needs to know to improve driver safety and protect a company from the risks associated with crashes. He also will discuss how to incorporate these into your safety program for improved safety.
Tuesday, April 11 (10-10:30 a.m. CT): Distracted Driving: Work Toward Zero by Making Safety Personal. Register to attend now.
How do we address transportation safety differently in the workplace to move the needle toward zero? Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of unintentional workplace deaths. Transportation safety can be one of the most important parts of an employer’s health and safety management system, with practical applications that apply on and off the job. This session will focus on driving activities that result in distraction and how a strong safety culture can decrease risk. Best practices will be shared. To broadly address driver behavior and improve safety, we need to look through a different lens and connect workplace policies and procedures with everyday life. Safety is personal.

This quick training is virtual and it is intended for HR professionals, safety professionals/instructors, risk managers, supervisors, department leaders and anyone at your company who has a role in safety and education of employees. This training covers a variety of traffic safety topics and information employers need to understand why traffic safety should be a part of a strong health and safety program for all employees, not just those who drive professionally.
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.
