Vehicle-related incidents are among the leading causes of workplace injuries and fatalities, making it essential for employers to prioritize safe driving practices.
OSHA provides guidelines for vehicle safety under its motor vehicle safety standards. Employers must ensure vehicles are well-maintained, conduct regular inspections, and provide drivers with appropriate training.
Defensive driving is a key skill for preventing accidents. Employees should be trained to anticipate hazards, maintain safe following distances, and adjust driving techniques based on weather and road conditions.
Implementing a fleet safety program can further enhance workplace driving safety. Such a program should include policies on seat belt use, distracted driving prevention, and fatigue management.
