NIOSH Co-hosts Motor Vehicle Safety Webinar
- Earlier this month, the NIOSH Center for Motor Vehicle Safety, together with the Society for Advancement of Violence and Injury Research(SAVIR), hosted a webinar on Occupational Research in Motor Vehicle Safety. The webinar grew out of interest generated at the National Occupational Injury Research Symposium, and featured presentations on organizational-level approaches to improving work-related road safety, a field study of the effectiveness of in-vehicle monitoring systems (IVMS) in reducing risky driving behaviors, and use of statewide data to examine occupational injuries to truck drivers. As a follow up, we are including some of the discussion from the question-and-answer section below. You can still watch the webinar at the link above and submit your questions though this blog via the comment section below
- Evaluation of telematics feedback to workers in “support activities for oil and gas operations” to decrease risky driving behaviors.
