Being held from 5 to 9 October, the workplace campaign is intended to improve the safety of employees, employee family members and their communities and carries the theme, "#PlanAhead—Your Key to Driving Safely."

Materials underscore that planning may be the most critical leg of any driving trip, whether the trip takes place on the job or off. Emphasizing the importance of advance preparation, the campaign will help to minimise risks on the road and offers resources to help become a better planner for both business and personal travel.

"Planning is critical to safe driving from many different perspectives," said Joe McKillips, chairperson of NETS, and director, commercial environment, health & safety for the global healthcare company Abbott. "It can be as simple as planning the best route. Other times it can mean planning for a designated driver, setting aside time with your teen driver to practice or talking to an older family member about the possibility of limiting their driving. These considerations and more are covered in this year's campaign materials." 

In addition to materials directed to all employees – whether they drive for work or just to and from work – the toolkit provides resources geared toward management to assist in the development of guidelines and policies as they relate to safe driving.
