Acccident

Make no mistake about it; driving is the most dangerous thing your employees do. This worker was on his way to bravely risk his life in a fight against a forest fire. Sadly, he died in a traffic accident before he was even able to arrive to the scene. Your employees have people counting on them, and they face enough risk on the job. Work with Public Service Safety to keep them safe on the way there, and back to their families when their work is done.

We love to see transportation departments taking the well-being and safety of their workers seriously. Clearly, you can’t count on the amateurs out there on the road with them.

Stop assuming and start knowing. When you work with Public Service Safety, you can create a safety culture and help prevent your drivers from making these types of mistakes.

This is what we mean when we say “Look out for the other guy.” Sorry to be blunt, but people do dumb stuff behind the wheel. There’s hardly anything dumber than driving the wrong way down a road. Maybe you’re a great driver who never breaks the rules. Even a mediocre driver would never drive the wrong direction. However, being a mediocre driver or even a great driver isn’t enough to keep you free from harm. You have to be a defensive driver. We share the roadways with countless drivers who take risks.
