These costs can be reduced through effective traffic safety programs, resulting in lower costs of doing business, as well as enhancing the quality of life for employees and their families, and for all citizens of New Hampshire. Each year motor vehicle crashes kill an estimated 3,000 people while they are working. Another 330,000 are injured and half of these injuries cause people to miss work.
Employers pay the costs of injuries whether they occur on the job or off the job.
Cost-conscious employers should be aware of the potential savings from effective traffic safety programs. NETS programs are designed to reach all employees, not just those who operate motor vehicles while on the job. NH NETS offers either complete programs or staff assistance to create and support in-house traffic safety promotions, program materials and information. Increasing productivity with less lost time. Lowering medical, workers' compensation, and health insurance costs.
