2009 National Safety Month-Distracted Driving

Because much cell phone use while driving is done on the job, employers can be leaders in the NSC’s call for a nationwide ban on this activity. Many businesses already know the injuries and costs associated with cell phone use while on the road. Among NSC member businesses that responded to a survey, 45 percent cited company policies prohibiting on-road cell phone use. Of those, 85 percent said the policies make no difference in business productivity.
