Program Aims to Reduce On the Job Vehicle Crashes

By Elaine Macdonald

Mission Possible @ Work. That's the name of a new ICBC program aimed at reducing on the job vehicle crashes.

ICBC claims vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in the workplace.  WCB stats show it usually takes 72 days in recovery time from crash related injuries, and a U.S. study  claims a personal injury crash,  can cost a company  about $24,500.00

So ICBC is hoping employers won't mind spending  some dollars on this new project that calls for an ICBC  recognized facilitator  setting up and delivering special  sessions on driving safety and  safety concerns.  The group sessions with employees involve lots of  dialogue and will look at all kinds of issues, including fatigue, speeding, distractions and road rage.

In Prince George, the facilitator is Kyle Matthies Consulting.  ICBC says the bottom line cost for the program is $700.00.
