Every day thousands of workers drive their own vehicle for work purposes. Many call it the grey fleet. But, there is no "grey" about it - their safety matters every bit as much as employees who drive company vehicles. And, employers have the same obligations to ensure their safety.
Presented in cooperation with SafeCare BC, this informative and interactive presentation explains the steps your organization can take to keep those employees safe when they drive for work, and the resources available to help you achieve that important goal.
A special thank you to Saleema Dhalla and SafeCare BC for their participation and partnership in presenting this webinar.
