Regional
Workshops to Address “High-Risk” Driving
in the Workplace
Register
now to participate in the 1st of a series of regional
Knowledge Network Workshops that
address a critical workplace safety issue –
Driver Safety.
The
Knowledge Network Workshops are designed
to offer employers a unique small group opportunity
to learn more effectively about a specific workplace
safety challenge and problem-solve through collaboration
with peers and safety experts. Participants
will have the opportunity to complete and submit a
confidential High-Risk Driving Practices Benchmarking
Survey prior to the workshop and then discuss the
collective findings of all participants in small moderator-facilitated
groups and compare effective intervention approaches.
“High-Risk”
Driving in the Workplace,
the first Knowledge Network Workshop, uses the unique
NETS meeting format to focus employer’s attention
on their organization’s vulnerability due to
their employees’ driving environments (road,
vehicle, and weather conditions), operator abilities
and attitudes. Workshop participants will:
- Respond
to a critical safety issue that makes their organization
vulnerable to potential liabilities or legal costs.
- Benchmark
their organization’s driver safety practices
to determine how their program compares with others.
This exercise will provide valuable insight into
the safety of your drivers.
- Problem
solve in a small group setting to discover if you
have put in place effective measures to ensure the
safety of your employees while driving for work
and reduce their crash-risk.
Organizations
need to adopt safety interventions that reduce risk
to employees from work-related road travel.
If these measures do not cover all employees, including
those hired for their specialty skills—not their
incidental driving skills—then your organization
may be in a precarious liability situation with unqualified
or at-risk drivers on the road.
2
weeks prior to the scheduled workshop, complete
the NETS’ High-Risk Driving Practices Benchmarking
Survey that you will receive upon registration.
Note:
To participate in the workshop
it is not mandatory that you complete the High-Risk
Driving Practices Benchmarking Survey, but it is
highly recommended. The exercise is more meaningful
for you and other participants if you do.
Please be assured that all the data will remain
anonymous and will only be displayed in a coded
format to allow benchmarking to take place.
