According to the U.S. Department of Labor, motor vehicle-related accidents are the leading cause of occupational fatalities in the United States. Of approximately 5,700 fatalities annually reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 35% are associated with motor vehicles.

But what is at the root of the problem? Is it a workforce plagued by too many electronic age distractions, worker fatigue or something more than this? And as SH&E professionals, what can we do to turn the tide?

Take part in ASSE’s Virtual Symposium – Best Practices in Transportation Safety and connect with colleagues from around the world through an easy-to-access virtual learning portal. Discover best practices, learn new techniques and interact with experts in the transportation field in an effort to help us realize a decline in fatalities and lower driver risk in the workplace!
