The Benefits of a Driver Safety Program

November 17, 2010

In 2008, there were nearly 6 million traffic accidents, and the economic cost was more than $230 billion. For delivery drivers, who spend more time than average on the road, the chances of an accident increase, potentially harming the driver and costing the operator significant amounts of money. A driver safety course can help minimize the risk. Driver training programs are helpful to those who:

• Have employees who have work-related cell phone conversations
• Have employees who drive company cars
• Allow employees to spend company time running errands or making deliveries in a personal vehicle for company purposes
