For employers, drivers

Shift into spring by giving your vehicle a seasonal checkup.

After months of winter wear, it’s time to examine your vehicle inside and out. Check for damage, worn parts, and anything that could affect safe driving.

Here’s what to do

For employees

You have a role to play in keeping yourself safe.

Whenever you’re behind the wheel as part of your job, you have safety rights. You also have a duty to keep yourself and others safe.

Learn your rights & responsibilities

For drivers

The season has changed. Driving hazards haven’t.

Rain, fog, and cool nights still put you at risk. Stay alert and adjust your driving to match conditions.

What to do when roads are wet

Driving for work is dangerous. It doesn’t have to be, since most crashes, injuries, and deaths are preventable. Together, employers and employees can help ensure all work drivers and roadside workers get home safe at the end of their shift.

Facts About Road Safety

Behind every road safety crash statistic is a family member, friend, co-worker, or neighbour who was seriously hurt or killed. WorkSafeBC statistics for 2020 through 2024 for BC show:

33%

of traumatic workplace deaths were due to vehicle crashes.

21
