Tuesday, June 11 (10 to 10:30 a.m. CT): Covering the Facts – Injury Facts Employers Should be Paying Attention To. Click this link to register.
In 1921, when the National Safety Council published its first statistical summary, An Analysis of Public Accidents, there was no centralized source for injury statistics in the U.S. Over the years, the statistical injury summaries published by NSC added information on a variety of topics that are beneficial to employers.
Join Ken Kolosh, manager of statistics at the National Safety Council, as he explores the latest roadway injury and fatality trends using the Injury Facts website. The site allows you to find the safety data you need – whether that’s a basic overview or detailed, interactive charts and tables. Ken will share current crash rate trends and guide you through how to explore the data on your own.
Tuesday, Aug. 6 (8:30 a.m. to noon CT): Workplace Impairment Training. Click this link to register.
Can you identify an impaired employee in the workplace? We offer a staff-development training course to aid your safety leaders in doing just that. Free Workplace Impairment Training explores the effects of impairment on driving and workplace performance. During each section of the training, participants will be directed to free resources designed to help raise awareness of risks associated with impairment and to promote safe behaviors. The goal is to help safety leaders better recognize and respond to these six root causes of impairment:
- Alcohol
- Cannabis
- Opioid pain relief medications, including Fentanyl.
- Prescription drugs, over-the-counter meds, and multi-substance use
- Fatigue
- Mental health
Tuesday, Aug. 20 (10-11 CST): When It Hits the Fan – Best Practices for Managing Incidents. Click this link to register.
Crash incidents happen, even at safety-minded organizations. No one is immune. When an incident happens, it can open the door for someone to take advantage of an organization. In this webinar, Brian Fielkow, executive vice president of risk resources for Acrisure, professional speaker and a past recipient of the National Safety Council “CEO’s Who Get It” recognition, will discuss best practices for employers to manage incidents and injuries.
Fielkow will discuss:
- Why employers must manage claims and not simply delegate them to their insurance companies
- The importance of establishing and following a claims management process without fail
- Why legitimate claims go bad – and how to prevent that from happening
- How to learn from adversity and build a stronger culture of prevention

Our Driving Concern Fast Pass
For those of you who have attended Our Driving Concern Employer Transportation Safety Training and would like a refresh, or are simply looking for a quick look at resources and tools that can improve your safety plan, these sessions are for you!
This quick training is virtual and it is intended for HR professionals, safety professionals/instructors, risk managers, supervisors, department leaders and anyone at your company who has a role in safety and education of employees. This training covers a variety of traffic safety topics and information employers need to understand why traffic safety should be a part of a strong health and safety program for all employees, not just those who drive professionally.
Free Employer Training
Given the enormous expense associated with crashes and injuries, it is necessary to train your employees to drive safely and develop a company-wide traffic safety program.
About half of all crash-related injuries result in days away from work, which can greatly impact employer costs, including:
- Health, life and disability insurance premiums
- Sick leave
- Contributions to workers’ compensation medical and disability insurance
- Liability insurance
- Crash-related legal expenses
- Lost productivity
- Recruiting and training to replace an injured employee
Our Driving Concern offers a free training program to teach your employees the basics of traffic safety and help prevent costly crashes. Our Driving Concern Transportation Safety Training teaches skills in conjunction with a traffic safety curriculum to address driver behaviors that are costly to Texas employers. This training is great for HR professionals, safety professionals, supervisors, instructors and other staff.
