A funny thing happened on the way in to work today……

What does one accident cost the average company?   According to the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety, in 2000, the economic cost of crashes to employers was $60 billion resulting in 3 million lost workdays. Two-thirds of the cost ($40 billion) was from on-the-job crashes while one-third ($20 billion) was from off-the-job crashes for employees and their benefit-eligible dependents.   If you have employees driving, your company needs to have a driver program and focus on driver safety.  You can read more of the findings here at www.businessdefensivedriving.com
