For employees who have a company car or drive their own vehicle on the job, driving is a matter of occupational safety. Today, due diligence is as important a consideration as cost control as occupational health and safety regulations hold companies accountable if their employees are injured when conducting job-related duties for which they have not been trained. The Kelowna & District Safety Council offers assessments and certified driver improvement programs that can help you reach your goals of greater employee safety.
