March 6 – 10 is Road Safety at Work Week! Be a part of Road Safety At Work Week by learning more about your responsibilities to employees who drive their vehicles for work. You will contribute to a safer workplace and roads for all British Columbians. Here’s how to participate:

• Take action on a road safety issue.
  • Identify a road safety issue (or two or three) you want to address and develop an improvement plan you can work on over the year. See how to build your road safety plan and tool kits for inspiration and guidance.
• Talk to your employees.
  • Every day during the week of March 6 – 10, choose a resource from the section on vehicles and share it with your employees.
  • During the Week, make your safety and tailgate meetings all about road safety. Ask employees to share their experiences with driving for work.
• Display and distribute the Road Safety At Work Week poster.
  • Please print a copy of the Road Safety At Work Week infographic and place it in your lobby, lunchroom or other high-traffic area before the campaign launch date to help create awareness.
  • Email your co-workers a copy of the infographic and ask them to post it in their workplaces.
  • This will be a powerful reminder to help employees, visitors and customers to learn more about their work-related driving rights and responsibilities.
