• Description:
  Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of work-related injury deaths in the United States. Millions of workers drive or ride in a motor vehicle as part of their jobs. The risk affects workers in all industries and occupations, whether they drive heavy or light vehicles on the job. Between 2003 and 2014, 22,000 workers died in work-related motor vehicle crashes. In 2013 alone, motor vehicle crashes at work cost U.S. employers $25 billion - $65,000 per nonfatal injury and $671,000 per death. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and its Center for Motor Vehicle Safety (CMVS) are committed to preventing work-related motor vehicle crashes and injuries. Since 2014, the CMVS has followed a 5-year strategic plan for research and prevention to work towards meeting five strategic goals. To help us review midcourse progress, we request your comment on the Center's work and goals. NIOSH is especially interested in comments that address the following topics: Research priorities 1. What research should NIOSH consider pursuing during the remaining period covered by the NIOSH Center for Motor Vehicle Safety Strategic Plan for Research and Prevention, 2014-2018? 2. What research should NIOSH begin planning to initiate beyond 2018? 3. Are there additional external research partners NIOSH should work with? Communications and outreach 4. What specific resources or tools are most urgently needed to move prevention of work-related crashes forward? 5. What audience(s) for workplace crash-prevention information should NIOSH prioritize in planning its communication strategy? 6. What are your organization's preferred digital communication channels for receiving workplace crash-prevention information (e.g., email, social media, eNewsletter, webpage)? Use of NIOSH products 7. How have you or your organization used information from the NIOSH Center for Motor Vehicle Safety? Of particular interest is information on changes made in workplace motor vehicle safety programs based on research results and/or communication materials and the impact of those changes.
