What is your highest financial payout a result of? Absenteeism, traffic accidents, workers compensation claims, sickness—employers face many issues in the work place that effects their bottom dollar. The biggest issue may be a surprise to many. Most people believe workers compensation claims is the most significant, however, traffic accidents are a much larger issue.
According to a study by the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety both on- and off- the-job motor vehicle crashes cost employers an estimated $60 billion annually from 1998 through 2000. Workers compensation costs are estimated at $2 billion annually. These estimates show workers compensation loss control efforts can have a significant impact on financial performance. To decrease the payout associated with accidents and workers compensation claims drivers need to be educated more on driver safety. If it costs American Employers about $60 Billion a year just from vehicular crashes (according to NETS*), how much has it cost your company? If you find it’s a bit too much for now, or might become more costly down the road, give your drivers what they will need and use every day – Safe Driving skills. It might cost a little bit now, but it will “Save You the Money”. Lots of good courses are available. *NETS – the Network of Employer’s for Traffic Safety organization.
