"Employers, Safety Professionals, and Workers: Crashes are the leading cause of work-related deaths in the United States.1 To address these deaths, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) Center for Motor Vehicle Safety (CMVS) conducts research and develops strategies to prevent work-related motor vehicle crashes and injuries. This flyer contains information about the CMVS and how our research and resources contribute to keeping workers safe on the road. What is the NIOSH CMVS? NIOSH is the only part of the U.S. federal government whose mission includes preventing crashes and resulting injuries for all workers, not just a specific worker group. CMVS research prioritizes the following workers: 1. Truck drivers 2. Drivers in other high-risk jobs (EMS, law enforcement, oil and gas extraction) 3. Light-vehicle drivers (real estate, sales, health care)" - NIOSHTIC-2 NIOSHTIC no. 20052813
