在处理工作场所安全时，运输事故通常不是思想所致的第一个工作危险。然而，超过38％年度工人受伤是由机动车事故，工作日或往返工作时的造成的。最近的全国公路交通安全管理研究报告称，近80％的崩盘和65％的近碰撞涉及事件前三秒内的某种形式的司机疏忽。司机疏忽的主要原因是手机使用和嗜睡。其他一些高风险的分心包括到达物体，昆虫，写作或打字，施用化妆，饮食和阅读。

Everyone is exposed to crash risks, so driving defensively is an important way to help yourself and others stay safe while on the road. We recommend that every driver follow these steps to stay safe behind the wheel:

1. 扣上并坚持你的乘客也这样做。Some statistics indicate that seat belts increase your chances of surviving a motor vehicle accident by about 60%.
2. Know your limits.It’s important to be well rested before you get behind the wheel. Take a break about once every two hours if on a long trip, and make sure to leave yourself plenty of time to get where you are going to avoid rushing, which can increase the tendency to take unnecessary risks.
3. Plan ahead.Before taking off, avoid alcohol or taking medication that causes drowsiness, and always pre-program radio stations, adjust mirrors, secure or remove objects that might move around, make sure you know your directions, and walk around your vehicle to look for potential problems.
4. Remain calm and stay alert.有很多事情可以做些司机来挫败，吓唬甚至互相愤怒，但不要亲自采取其他司机行动。这有时很难做到，但对自己和他人的安全是重要的。
5. Stay focused.Avoid the temptation to multi-task while driving. Any time your full attention is taken away from driving, you put yourself and other drivers at risk. Talking on the phone, even with a hands-free set up, can cut your response time to your surroundings in half.

Following these safety tips can help reduce your risk of vehicle-related injuries. Safety does not happen by accident. When safety best practices are understood and practiced correctly, it becomes a plan that can help avoid or address accidents quickly and protect our greatest resource, our people.
