How Employers Can Reduce Distracted Driving
Statistically, what’s the most dangerous thing an employer can ask their employee to do? Driving.
Tragically, 40,000 deaths happen on U.S. roadways every year. If you could prevent a handful of those fatalities, wouldn’t you?

- The real-life consequences of distracted driving
- 3 forms of distractions and how hands-free laws mitigate them
- Ways organizations can reduce distracted driving
- Preparing for winter driving conditions
The Employee Safety Podcast is hosted by Peter Steinfeld, SVP of Safety Solutions at AlertMedia.
