For employers

Do your employees drive their own vehicles on the job? You’re responsible for their safety.

Any vehicle used for work is considered a workplace, regardless of who owns it.

Review your duties

 

For work drivers

Your safety on the road is a shared responsibility.

You, your employer, and your supervisor all play a role in ensuring you get home safe.

Learn what to do

Driving for work is dangerous. It doesn’t have to be, since most crashes, injuries, and deaths are preventable. Together, employers and employees can help ensure all work drivers and roadside workers get home safe at the end of their shift.

Behind every road safety crash statistic is a family member, friend, co-worker, or neighbour who was seriously hurt or killed. WorkSafeBC statistics for 2018 through 2022 for BC show:
