The National Safety Council (NSC) has secured four federal grants amounting to nearly $1.3 million aimed at enhancing roadway safety across four states. These funds will significantly support the Our Driving Concern program, focused on reducing roadway incidents, injuries, and fatalities.
This initiative not only highlights the importance of safety measures on the road but also fosters a proactive approach for companies in the industrial sector, including contractors and plant engineers.
- Funding enables companies to implement better safety training programs for employees who drive as part of their job.
- The focus on reducing roadway incidents can lead to decreased liability and insurance costs for contractors.
- Contractors can leverage these resources to promote safer work environments, particularly when project demands require travel.
Overall, this financial support aims to improve the safety of all roadway users, marking a significant step forward in occupational safety within the construction and industrial sectors.
