Stop Distracted Driving

- 4/30/2009
Itasca, IL - The National Safety Council (NSC) is now offering a distracted driving resource kit to help companies educate employees about the risks of using hand-held and hands-free communication devices while driving. The kits also help companies create and implement individualized distracted driving policies and present them in a positive manner. The kit includes a suggested timeline for implementing policies company-wide and introducing related new procedures.

“When you’re on a call, even if both hands are on the wheel, your head is in the call and not on your driving. Research shows that drivers are four times more likely to be involved in a crash while talking on a cell phone,” says John Ulczycki, group vice president of research, communication & advocacy for the NSC. “With the kit’s resources, including its policy documents, companies of all sizes can start to change the way their employees think about using cell phones and other messaging devices behind the wheel.”

The kit, available on CD, includes a wealth of electronic resources, such as:
  • A “call to action” for a distracted driving policy
  • Template distracted driving policy
  • Informational article on the risks associated with distracted driving
  • The top ten reasons for a no-cell driving policy
  • Posters
  • Tips for distraction-free driving
  • A one-hour training program on distracted driving (includes instructor guide, participant guide and PowerPoint® presentation)
  • Distracted driving safety pamphlets
