Driving Safety: Young Workers

Keeping young workers safe behind the wheel
August 26, 2018

According to NIOSH, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of work-related deaths among people ages 16 to 24 in the United States. From 2003 to 2010, 843 workers in this age group died in on-the-job motor vehicle crashes.

Young drivers lack the maturity and driving experience of their older co-workers, NIOSH states. Other contributing factors include poor impulse control, difficulty responding appropriately to traffic hazards, a tendency to overestimate their driving skills, inconsistent seat belt use and distracted driving. Click here for some tips on how to keep young workers safe behind the wheel.

Thanks for the share, NSC!
