Safety Talk Presentation Safe Driving: Stats

Keeping your workers safe while they are driving for you should be a priority. Safety talks and safe driving training can help you prevent accidents that occur while driving. Here are some stats to help drive this point home.

• In 2017, WSIB reported 2,004 driving accidents in the workplace; 61 of those occurred in Waterloo.
• The OHSA (see Pike Industries) reported how one paving company greatly improved their safety record after implementing a weekly safety talk. Their drivers did not get into any accidents even though they traveled 2 million miles! This same company’s workers compensation claims for vehicle incidents accounted for 73% of their losses in 2001. That figure dropped to just 2 % of their losses in 2003 after the implementation of a daily safety talk.
• According to the Canada Safety Council , “93 per cent of Canadians buckle up, the seven per cent who don’t account for almost 40 percent of fatalities in vehicle collisions.” They also report that the use of seat belts save about 1,000 lives every year in Canada.

By incorporating safety talks and encouraging the use of seat belts, you can make a difference in the reduction of driving accidents in your workplace.
