• Description:
  Why does workplace motor vehicle safety matter? Millions of workers drive or ride in a vehicle as part of their jobs, and crashes are the leading cause of work-related deaths in the United States. The goal of the Center for Motor Vehicle Safety is to make sure that those who work in or near vehicles come home safely at the end of their workday. $25 billion total cost to U.S. employers for motor vehicle crashes at work; $65,000 per nonfatal injury; and $671,000 per death. Motor vehicle crashes impact workers, their families, businesses, and communities. All workers are at risk of crashes, whether they drive light or heavy vehicles, or whether driving is a main or incidental job duty. From 2003-2014 there were 22,000 work-related motor vehicle deaths in the United States. [Description provided by NIOSH]
