Session Description: Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of unintentional workplace deaths in Texas. An average workplace motor vehicle crash costs an employer more than $24,000. If the employee is injured, the average cost increases to more than $125,000. Employers must realize the full extent of their exposure to liability, as multi-million dollar settlements become increasingly common for lawsuits involving motor vehicle crashes.
About half of all crash-related injuries result in days away from work, which can greatly affect employer costs, including:
- Crash-related legal expenses
- Contributions to workers’ compensation
- Health, life and disability insurance premiums
- Liability insurance
- Lost productivity
- Recruiting and training to replace an injured employee
- Sick leave
This training covers a variety of traffic safety topics:
The Making a Difference overview module describes the problem driving behaviors and the impact to employers. The behavior-specific presentations discuss and reinforce good driving habits.
After completing the training, participants will receive their own copy of the curriculum.
