This year marks the 19th year of the DSWW campaign sponsored annually by the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS.)
We’re glad you’re here! Planning is critical to safe driving from many different perspectives. Whether thinking through the route you’ll take, arranging for a designated driver, prioritizing time to practice with a teen driver or helping a family member prepare for driving retirement, planning ahead is a key element of safe driving. These considerations and more are covered in this year’s campaign materials and we’re confident you’ll find them to be informative, practical and useful.

The 2015 DSWW campaign’s daily areas of emphasis will help to:

Remember to take time to plan the journey—even those trips that feel routine;
Prepare for driving situations that take you into unfamiliar areas;
Take precautions to ensure you’re driving with a clear head;
Learn to navigate the changes we all experience as we age and how they may affect driving; and
Think through ways to plan ahead for driving situations that involve family members.
Your participation in this campaign can make a big difference. In the U.S. alone, employers have the opportunity to directly reach more than half of the driving population—even more when information is extended to employee family and community members.

Thank you for downloading the 2015 DSWW campaign. Through our collective efforts, we can reduce the number of traffic crashes that impact our workforce, members of our families and the communities in which we work and live.

Wishing you safe travels,

From Joseph McKillips, Chairperson, NETS Board of Directors:

“This year marks the 18th year of the DSWW campaign sponsored annually by the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS.)

It is often said that a strong corporate or organizational safety culture is a journey, not a destination. With that in mind, this year’s DSWW campaign materials are designed to make the case for integrating elements of safe driving into an organization’s core safety culture. Nearly everyone drives—whether for work, commuting to and from work or tending to daily errands outside of work. Regardless of the reason for the trip, time spent behind the wheel is very likely the most dangerous part of an employee’s day.

If your safety programs don’t currently integrate policies, procedures, communication tools and/or practices related to safe driving for all employees, DSWW could be your opportunity to introduce these concepts. If you already have programs in place, it’s a great time to repeat, reinforce and maybe even rethink your safety communications as they relate to driving.

We invite you to share these materials with your organization’s executive leadership. Whether through video messages, town hall meetings or letters to employees, it is our hope they will consider getting involved and use the ideas in this year’s DSWW tool kit to emphasize the importance of road safety for all employees – during the campaign week, and throughout the year.

Thank you for downloading the Drive Safely Work Week tool kit. Working together, we can reduce the number of traffic crashes that impact our workforce, members of our families and the communities in which we all work and live.

Wishing you safe travels,

Joseph McKillips
