High Impact of Crashes

This year, more than 3,500 people will be killed and 350,000 will be injured on Texas streets and highways. One of your employees or someone in their family could be among them. The Texas Employer Traffic Safety Program — “Our Driving Concern” — is here to help you prevent this. Four impact sheets show how crashes affect employers and what you can do about it.

FREE MATERIALS FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES
Order innovative new payroll stuffers and information cards created special for Texas, to communicate with your employees. Payroll stuffers that look like checks and educate about the potential costs of a DWI or a crash that causes injury are surprising attention-getters when combined with a paycheck.

The die cut materials in the shapes of smashed pickup trucks, cell phones and beer cans communicate the risks of unsafe driving behaviors. In fact, do you know why we put seat belt information on the pickup truck piece? Because pickup truck drivers are less likely to wear their seat belts, and pickup trucks are common in Texas. Materials are free; only shipping charges apply. You may also download PDFs of all materials from links on their shopping cart pages.

PDF DOWNLOADS OF ALL MATERIALS
In addition to ordering print copies from the National Safety Council, you can download and share materials with employees and colleagues electronically through email and online, or print them out at your location, or include the PDF information within your own employee newsletters and communications.
