Measuring the Value of Seat Belt Programs OSHA-NHTSA Motor Vehicle Safety Symposium September 14, 2004 Kathy Lusby-Treber Executive Director Network of Employers for Traffic Safety

The NETS Mission To improve the safety and health of employees, their families, and members of the communities in which they live and work, by decreasing the number of traffic crashes that occur both on and off the job. Vision: To Keep America’s Workforce Safe on the Road

The most dangerous part of the workday for any employee is the time they spend in their vehicle Every 5 seconds a crash occurs. Every 7 seconds a property damage crash occurs. Every 10 seconds there is a traffic-related injury. Every 12 minutes in the U.S. someone dies in a traffic crash. NHTSA [2001].

How do traffic crashes affect employers financially? Average Motor Vehicle Crash Costs for Employers $16,500/crash (all crashes) $0.158/ vehicle-miles traveled $504,400/fatal injury $76,300/injury (all injury) $73,750/nonfatal injury NHTSA [2003]. The economic burden of traffic crashes on employers: costs by state and industry and by alcohol and restraint use. Publication DOT HS

Traffic Crashes that Occur Off the Job Cost Impact Employers, Too Economic Costs of Traffic Crashes in 2000 $230.6 billion - Total societal cost of motor vehicle crashes $60 billion – Cost to Employers $40 billion from on-the-job crashes $20 billion off-the-job crashes for workers and their dependents NHTSA [2003]. The economic burden of traffic crashes on employers: costs by state and industry and by alcohol and restraint use. Publication DOT HS

Employer Costs of Motor Vehicle Injuries NHTSA [2003]. The economic burden of traffic crashes on employers: costs by state and industry and by alcohol and restraint use. Publication DOT HS
