October is around the corner!

October 5-9 Drive Safely Work Week!

Maryland has a clear, unified mission when it comes to traffic crashes – to move the state Toward Zero Deaths. There have been many strides made toward achieving this goal, but there have also been challenges that need to be faced in order to continue making progress. Traffic crashes are tragic, preventable occurrences and making the public realize this fact, in effect stigmatizing traffic crashes in the same manner as crime, is the only way to elevate the importance of traffic safety in the public eye. Employers play a critical role in reaching out to the public, through educating employees and setting internal policies for things like seat belt use and preventing distracted or aggressive driving. Drive Safely Work Week (DSWW) is an annual workplace safety campaign, providing ways to remind employees about safe driving practices. The DSWW campaign has been sponsored by the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS) since 1996. As a partner in Maryland’s traffic safety community, we ask that you use the resources included in the 2015 DSWW toolkit to help keep you and your employees safe on our roadways. You may access the resources through this link - http://trafficsafety.org/dsww2015/index.html. Although the observance of the campaign takes place each year during the first full week of October, the materials are not dated and can be used throughout the year for continued promotion of safe driving practices. Thank you for your time and consideration and please contact the Maryland Highway Safety Office at 410-787-4050 with any questions. Event Details from 9/24-9/27 9/24 0722 hrs.
