This year, the second annual Road Safety at Work Week is focusing on "Employer Responsibility" to help employers in BC better understand their responsibilities to employees who drive for work.
Motor vehicle crashes continue to be the leading cause of traumatic workplace deaths in BC. Twenty-four workers a year on average are killed and another 1,300 are injured due to motor vehicle crashes while driving for work. (Source: WorkSafeBC, 2010 to 2014).
