Share the Road: It’s Everyone’s Responsibility

With warmer weather, you’re likely seeing more bikes on the road, so it’s a perfect time for a reminder to Share the Road .

Drivers Share the Road

For drivers, sharing the road begins with the understanding that bicyclists and motorcyclists have the same rights as you. They also face unique safety challenges, such as being smaller and less visible. Look for cyclists where vehicles do not appear, like before making a left-hand turn at an intersection. Also, be aware that motorcyclists may have to downshift and weave to avoid bumps and road hazards.

Pedestrians have rights on the road, too. Always slow down and be prepared to yield to pedestrians when they’re in a crosswalk. Never pass vehicles stopped at a crosswalk, as there may be people crossing whom you can’t see. And, be extra cautious when backing up across sidewalks or in parking lots.

Motorcyclists, Bicyclists and Pedestrians Share the Road

Just like drivers behind the wheel, bicyclists and motorcyclists  must obey signs and signals. Ride defensively, assuming others cannot see you, and don’t let yourself be distracted by music, an electronic device, or anything else that takes your focus off the road. Bicyclists should always ride with traffic, use bike lanes when available and avoid riding on sidewalks when possible. 

Pedestrians should also follow the rules of the road and obey signs and signals — which are there to protect you. If there isn’t a sidewalk, walk facing traffic and as far from vehicles as possible. Always cross streets at crosswalks when they are available; drivers know to look for you there. If there isn’t a crosswalk, cross at a well-lit place where drivers can best see you.

Prevent a Deadly Crash

As more Americans choose to ride bikes and walk to stay healthy, and as an alternative to driving, pedestrian and cyclist deaths in motor-vehicle-related crashes have increased over the past decade.

Bicyclists : There were 966 bicyclists killed in collisions with vehicles in 2021.

Pedestrians : In 2021, 7,388 pedestrians died in traffic crashes, up from 6,565 in 2020.

Motorcyclists : The number of people killed on motorcycles in 2021 was 5,932.

Join us in helping to keep everyone safe on the road. Remember, no one — no driver, cyclist, or pedestrian — has sole rights to the road. It’s a shared space where we all have rights and responsibilities.

NHTSA’s Safe System Approach: Educating and Protecting All Road Users

More than 50 years ago, the Highway Safety Act of 1970 confirmed the commitment of the U.S. Government to work to protect the traveling public’s safety on the road. The legislation established the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to help reduce the number of deaths, injuries, and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes on the Nation’s highways. The agency’s efforts since then have saved hundreds of thousands of lives—NHTSA estimates that since 1960, improved vehicle safety technologies alone have saved more than 600,000 people. Unfortunately, the Nation continues to lose too many family members, friends, and neighbors to traffic crashes. In 2020, the United States lost more than 38,000 people to traffic crashes.

“We must address the tragic loss of life we saw on the roads in 2020 by taking a transformational and collaborative approach to safety. Everyone—including those who design, operate, build, and use the road system—shares responsibility for road safety, This is the foundation of the safe system approach, and one that guides our lifesaving work at NHTSA,” says Dr. Steven Cliff, NHTSA’s deputy administrator.

The Safe System Approach is a data-driven, holistic, and equitable method to roadway safety that fully integrates the needs of all users, anticipates the possibility of errors by drivers and other road users, and manages crash impact forces to levels tolerated by the human body. The Safe System Approach includes five elements: safe road users, safe vehicles, safe speeds, safe roads, and post-crash care. The approach incorporates the 5 Es of traffic safety—equity, engineering, education, enforcement, and emergency medical services (EMS)—but goes beyond the traditional approach to enlist designers, operators, and users of the transportation system to prevent fatal crashes and reduce crash severity. NHTSA’s efforts focus on safe road users, safe vehicles, safe speeds, and post-crash care.

The Safe System Approach broadens NHTSA’s scope with the tenets that safety is proactive and responsibility is shared. It challenges everyone involved to not accept fatalities and serious injuries as a consequence of mobility. Instead, the approach is founded in the conviction that no one should be killed or seriously injured while using the roadway system. It recognizes that people make mistakes, and those who oversee, design, and regulate the components of the transportation system have a responsibility to develop a system that accommodates mistakes. In the case where a crash cannot be prevented, the energy that dictates the injury severity, when possible, should be mitigated to improve survivability outcomes. A Safe System provides equitable, timely, and appropriate care.

Historically, NHTSA has always used a data-driven systems approach to crashes, related causal factors, and candidate countermeasures. The agency’s foundational work is grounded in the Haddon Matrix, introduced by NHTSA’s first Administrator, Dr. William Haddon, in 1969. The Haddon Matrix identifies the factors involved in crashes—from the pre-crash phase, crash phase, and post-crash phase—and how drivers, vehicles, and the environment influence the outcomes of each. The Haddon Matrix embodies the core elements of NHTSA’s historic efforts to reduce traffic injuries and fatalities by using data to identify traffic safety issues and employ countermeasures to target those issues.

NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) supports data-driven decisions through the collection and analysis of data and the dissemination of information to quickly identify potential problems and support data-driven safety decisions. In addition to its own data sources, NCSA uses data from other governmental agencies, as well as crash files from States, to support analytical activities. NCSA also regularly publishes a variety of research notes, crash statistics, traffic safety fact sheets, and reports that provide information on crashes at the national and State levels (for more information, please see www.nhtsa.gov/data ). 

Safe Road Users 

The Safe System Approach targets the safety of all road users, including those who walk, bike, drive, ride transit, and travel by other modes. All road users should have the opportunity to travel safely, regardless of how they travel. At the same time, road users have a responsibility to operate, to the best of their ability, within the expectations and boundaries of the transportation system. NHTSA works with stakeholders—road users as well as local, State, and private partners—to help them understand their responsibilities in a Safe System. Everyone shares ownership of the road system and all share responsibility for maintaining a Safe System.

Education and training on safe road behaviors comprise the cornerstones of promoting safe road users. NHTSA works to reinforce positive behaviors (such as reminding motorcyclists to use proper safety gear and vehicle occupants to use proper adult and child restraints) and to deter dangerous behaviors (including impaired, distracted, or drowsy driving).

NHTSA develops research-based programs and safety campaigns that educate road users to drive sober, wear seatbelts, be attentive, and move at safe speeds. For example, NHTSA creates and places social, digital, and traditional media advertisements to encourage all parents and caregivers to use the correct car seat for their child’s age and weight.

NHTSA raises awareness of the dangers to pedestrians by providing safety tips for walkers of all ages, educational material, statistics, resources including information for drivers on avoiding pedestrians, and conducting public campaigns, such as Everyone is a Pedestrian . Further, NHTSA has developed resources to help States and local communities identify, address, and improve pedestrian safety, including a data visualization tool, safety tips, and social media graphics and messaging. Additionally, NHTSA places special emphasis on people who walk throughout the month of October which is designated as National Pedestrian Safety Month. Everyone has a role to play and must work together to keep all road users especially our most vulnerable ones safe.

The Buckle Up. Every Trip. Every Time. campaign reminds road users that wearing a seat belt is one of the most powerful choices drivers and passengers can make to ensure their safety while in a vehicle. Proper seat belt use means other elements of the Safe System—safe vehicles and post-crash care—can work together to reduce fatalities and serious injuries.

Other examples of NHTSA efforts to educate road users include reminding motorcyclists to make themselves visible, to use motorcycle helmets that are compliant with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations, and to always ride sober. NHTSA helps older road users understand how aging and associated medical conditions can affect driving in addition to adapting a vehicle to meet changing physical needs. On the other end of the age spectrum, NHTSA provides information on States’ driver licensing requirements for novice drivers and promotes a three-stage graduated driver licensing system and training for new drivers so that they understand how to safely navigate the built environment with other users.

Fair and equitable law enforcement is an important component in the Safe System Approach—not only to prevent a crash (supporting voluntary compliance with State laws) and to respond when a crash happens (providing emergency care, ensuring safety of other road users, and expediting scene clearance), but also as part of the shared responsibility to provide feedback to improve the system design and operation based on officers’ experience in responding to crashes. Law enforcement officers also serve as educators on the frontline to help remind all road users—drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and others—to use the transportation system safely.

High visibility enforcement and education campaigns have been successful strategies for many decades at NHTSA, while supporting the Safe System Approach principles that safety is proactive and that responsibility is shared. The “Click It or Ticket” seat belt and “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” impaired driving campaigns are recognized by most licensed drivers. Currently, NHTSA is working to reduce distracted driving with the “U Drive. U Text. U Pay.” campaign. Impaired driving laws and the enforcement and consequences of these laws have worked together to reduce the number of impaired driving fatalities by half since the early 1980s.

To support its education and enforcement efforts, NHTSA has created effective partnerships with community and safety stakeholders to include health professionals, parents, community organizations, law enforcement, members of the justice system, and nonprofit organizations.

Safe Vehicles 

The vehicle—be it a car, sport utility vehicle, pickup truck, heavy truck, transit bus, or other type—is an important component of a Safe System. Recent technological advances in the automotive industry provide a variety of tools to enhance roadway safety through this element of the system. Technology provides a key opportunity to address the Safe System tenet that humans make mistakes by supporting drivers where they may err and mitigate some of the outcomes that could result from unsafe behaviors. These systems, when properly used, can substantially reduce crashes. For example, automatic emergency braking system technologies are specifically designed to help drivers avoid, or mitigate the severity of, rear-end crashes. In 2019, almost one-third of all police-reported crashes involved a rear-end collision with another vehicle at the start of the crash. For more information, please see NHTSA’s Annual Traffic Safety Facts at https://cdan.nhtsa.gov/tsftables/tsfar.htm .

Another essential aspect of a safe vehicle is crashworthiness—how well a vehicle protects its occupants in a crash. NHTSA’s aim is to make vehicles as safe as possible or their crashworthiness as great as possible by affording injury protection to occupants when a crash occurs. NHTSA also focuses on addressing the safety of those vulnerable road user populations outside or around the vehicle to minimize impact or severity of injury through data collection, research, and leveraging of new technologies. NHTSA efforts on vehicle crashworthiness have focused on new and improved vehicle design; biomechanics and injury causation; field data collection; and analysis of serious injury cases, safety countermeasures, and equipment to enhance occupant safety. Despite modern vehicles being safer than ever, the need remains to improve the understanding of injury causation through the development and upgrade of test procedures for the evaluation of motor vehicle safety, the development of crash test dummies and human body computer models, and appropriate injury metrics.

NHTSA uses a family of crash test dummies to help the agency understand and measure the human body’s movement, vehicle performance, and the performance of various safety features during a crash. Measurements from the test dummies predict the risk of injury to each part of the body during air bag deployment and in crashes involving frontal, side, and rear impacts. NHTSA has dummies that differ in size, weight, and movement to account for some of the variations in body types, as well as crash circumstances.

NHTSA’s family of dummies ranges from newborns to 10-year-old children to small females and average males. NHTSA is also involved in worldwide development and evaluation of crash test dummies even more advanced than those used today. Design, instrumentation, and testing with these crash test dummies help ensure the safety of vehicle occupants in the unfortunate event that a crash occurs by encouraging safety improvements to vehicles to provide better vehicle crashworthiness through occupant protection—saving lives. Technologies that improve crashworthiness and afford protection to the users include seat belts, advanced air bags, and electronic stability control.

While protecting occupants and vulnerable road users in a crash is important, the most desirable outcome would be to prevent crashes from happening whenever possible: no crash, no injuries, no fatalities. Advancements in technology have added a new dimension to the vehicle safety space. Active safety systems, which are types of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), proactively anticipate and assist drivers who may not respond to immediate and/or imminent dangers around them. These technologies include automatic emergency braking system technologies and electronic stability control—both referred to as active safety systems—to provide momentary intervention during potentially hazardous situations.

There are a variety of other passive ADAS technologies available in the marketplace now. Passive ADAS technologies alert drivers of potential risk situations to give the driver time to respond. Some examples of these systems include forward collision warning, which detects a potential collision with a vehicle ahead and alerts the driver (some systems also provide alerts for pedestrians or other objects); lane departure warning, which monitors a vehicle’s position within the driving lane and alerts the driver as the vehicle approaches or crosses lane markers; and blind spot warning, which detects vehicles in the blind spot while driving and notifies the driver to their presence (some systems provide an additional warning if the driver activates the turn signal). Note that these systems only provide a warning to the driver and do not take action to avoid a crash.

The benefits of these various active and passive safety systems are well documented in helping drivers avoid or mitigate crashes, but they can only address a portion of related crash circumstances. It is vital to emphasize that drivers will continue to share driving responsibilities for the foreseeable future and must remain engaged and attentive to the driving task and the road ahead.

Newer vehicle innovations under testing and development, such as Automated Driving Systems that at maturity contemplate replacing human drivers, also follow the Safe System principles and involve all stakeholders early and often, as an opportunity to contribute to the Safe System Approach.

Post-Crash Care 

Even with improvements in all components of the Safe System Approach—roads, vehicles, and road users—traffic crashes still happen. A comprehensive and integrated post-crash care system can further reduce fatalities and serious injuries resulting from those crashes. 911 emergency communications centers, first responders and highly trained EMS personnel, emergency departments, and trauma centers are all essential parts of that system.

The actions taken after a crash are vital to reducing death and disability. Improvements to EMS systems, such as automated communication of crash location and severity, may reduce the 40 percent of deaths from traffic crashes that occur after the arrival of EMS at the crash scene. The information collected by 911 telecommunicators and EMS clinicians also serves as a robust resource for examining the factors that influence traffic crashes and patient outcomes.

NHTSA has integrated post-crash considerations in its work since the very beginning. NHTSA’s Office of Emergency Medical Services was part of the group of EMS stakeholders that developed standard curricula for EMS clinicians, the National EMS Information System (NEMSIS), and evidence-based guidelines for prehospital care. NHTSA also maintains EMS.gov and 911.gov , which serve to educate and inform the general public, EMS, and 911 stakeholders about critical issues.

Today, NHTSA continues to collaborate with partners to advance post-crash care. A key component of post-crash care is the National EMS Education Standards. The standards support consistency in EMS care across the country. NHTSA also funds the development of several evidence-based guidelines for clinical care, including guidelines for bleeding control, pain management, and the appropriate triage of trauma victims to ensure that the right patients get to the right hospital at the right time.

The NEMSIS establishes a common data standard used by EMS systems throughout the country. When EMS clinicians respond to a 911 call and treat a patient, they complete an electronic patient care report that uses the NEMSIS standard. This common NEMSIS language enables information to be easily combined for surveillance, analysis, and research. The National EMS Database collects NEMSIS data—via State repositories—in near real time. In 2020, EMS systems in 50 States and territories submitted more than 43 million EMS records. The National EMS Database can provide information on nearly every 911 activation for a medical emergency or injury, making it a powerful tool for studying everything from the COVID-19 pandemic to pedestrian injuries to vehicle crashes.

NHTSA also houses the National 911 Program, which supports the advancement of 911 systems across the country. The program works with stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition to an updated 911 system to leverage new technologies. The program also administers a 911 Grant Program, which has awarded more than $100 million to States and Tribal nations.

In Conclusion 

“NHTSA believes in an approach that is people-focused, meaning that infrastructure serves the needs of its users, not the other way around. As we continue to move forward [with] a Safe System Approach, we will not forget the voices of those who use the roads, particularly those in communities of color, underrepresented communities, and people with disabilities. A successful Safe System Approach respects all users,” Dr. Cliff says.

All system managers, owners, designers, and users need to be actively involved in advancing and preserving the safety of the system. Everyone plays a role—from community and advocacy organizations to public safety officials and transportation experts, road users, vehicle designers and developers, law enforcement, and first responders. Building a Safe System requires an extraordinary commitment to community engagement. System users need to be involved in decisions before building the road system, in education on how to use it, and in reinforcing public trust that the system will be safe for users when everyone shares responsibility for it. And, most important, when assessing Safe System decisions, NHTSA will integrate the input and needs of all road users—not just drivers and passengers but pedestrians, cyclists, children, older Americans, and people with disabilities—as the Nation moves forward.

Road Safety USA

Promoting Best-Practices and Supporting Crash Victims

Presentations About Traffic Safety and Safe Driving

As part of our work at Road Safety USA, we provide illustrated talks for highway safety conferences, professional or governmental bodies, law enforcement departments, road victims’ advocacy groups, schools, colleges, and so on.

Unless specified otherwise, our presentations will be given by our executive director, Eddie Wren, whose 45-year, multi-disciplinary background in various aspects of traffic law enforcement, road safety and driver training give him extensive experience from which to speak. [ Detailed résumé here .]

We also support our PowerPoint presentations with our own high-quality photography, often depicting scenarios that are rarely photographed by anyone else.

The following list of titles is by no means exhaustive but it will give an insight into a range of topics we can address:

DRIVING STANDARDS and DRIVER TRAINING

Standards in driver education and driver training.

This talk was first given at the International Conference on Road Safety at Work, Washington DC; February 2009.  The event was organized/sponsored by the World Health Organisation ,  NIOSH , and the NSC .  [Wren was the only invited/selected speaker worldwide on behind-the-wheel driver training.]

While the individuals cannot be named for reasons of protocol, two senior members of the injuries division of the CDC later told him that it was the most informative and engaging road safety presentation either of them had ever seen in their careers.

Are Drivers the Only Demon in the Equation?

There is much talk nowadays about drivers being solely responsible for around 94 percent of all crashes, but this raises questions.

When the USDOT and NHTSA first published this information, they specifically stated that around 94 percent of all crashes involved driver error as a factor, but that only around 56 percent of total were due entirely to driver error.  Dropping this differentiation is a major change in stance and serves to demonize drivers.

If the new ‘94% total responsibility’ message were accurate, it would mean that the latest thinking regarding four of the Five Pillars of Road Safety is effectively a waste of time, but frankly that would be absurd.  Here in the USA, there are plenty of problems — other than just bad driving and bad driver-decisions — which undeniably play a significant role in the occurrence of road crashes, injuries and deaths.  This presentation will take a look at just some of them.

Do We Give Young Drivers Adequate and Accurate Safety Information?

While the standard of information given to new drivers in state drivers’ manuals has improved in the last 10-12 years, these improvements are to a very large extent due to a research paper written by Eddie Wren and published by the Society of Automotive Engineers [SAE] at their World Congress in Detroit, in 2007 .  (The paper also received a quality award for being peer-selected as one of the top five percent of papers at the Congress.)

However, while the standard of information has improved, there is still a long way to go regarding the lack of best practices and also the low quantity of information contained in state drivers’ manuals — the only official driving advice that most drivers ever get to see in their lifetime.

At What Age Should Young People be Allowed to Drive?

At present, most lay-people who talk about road safety or who post about it on social media, are back to the perception that it is simply lack of experience that causes so many crashes involving young drivers, yet it has long-since been proven that there  is another major factor at work — one which cannot be remedied simply by giving young drivers more experience before they can take their driving test.

Do NOT Teach Drivers ‘How to Swerve’ or ‘How to Get Out of a Skid’

This has been a massive research issue from many countries over the last four decades, with only one reliable conclusion, and yet many individuals and even huge organizations and corporations insist on continuing to teach these techniques and thereby increase rather than decrease subsequent crash risks for the trainees.

Following Distances, Stopping Distances, and Bad-Weather Driving

Sadly these are topics about which a lot of dangerously-bad advice is given, so let’s rectify some myths and misguidance.

The World’s Oldest and Most In-depth Advanced Driver Training

Over 80 years ago, back in 1935, the British Government became alarmed that too many people were getting killed or seriously injured [KSI] in crashes involving police cars either on their way to an incident or pursuing other vehicles. Does this sound like a familiar concern?

The UK response was to develop a very in-depth training regime for all officers who were to be permitted to driver at speed on public roads. That approach, originally known as The System of Car Control but more recently renamed ‘IPSGA’ after the component parts of its main feature, still exists and is still taught to British police officers and other emergency services personnel, having been continually refined and developed in the meanwhile. (It is also available to any citizen who wishes to be much safer on the roads but obviously without the high-speed element.)

Such training is a major part of Wren’s own background — in the final test for an additional motorcycle riding component he attained the second-highest score on record — and in this presentation we give an accurate insight into this method and its major benefits.  It is applicable every type of road vehicle.

A self-portrait of Eddie Wren — or more accurately of his right leg — when he was a traffic patrol police officer in Cumbria Constabulary, northern England. The motorcycle was a BMW R80, and this was in his early days of doing specialised traffic safety photography.  (Copyright image, 1978.  All rights reserved.)

ENGINEERING

Roundabouts — the right way.

Again, this is a look at traffic engineering from a road user’s point of view.

While rotary traffic flow has been used since at least Roman times (for chariots and carts), ‘modern roundabouts’ (the correct name) were invented in Britain in the 1960s but have only been brought into use here in the U.S. since the early 2,000s.

Inexplicably, while the concept is the same, America has chosen not to adopt global best practices for the use of roundabouts.  This is a case of needlessly trying to reinvent the wheel.

This action has served to increase drivers’ uncertainty and will not only have added to the number of collisions but also eroded some of the enhanced traffic flow which is one of the key reasons for using roundabouts in the first place.

The other key reason for their use is to create significant reductions in crashes which involve serious injuries or deaths.

Crosswalks Make Me Cross

We don’t just mean ‘cross the road,’ either!  The poor design, poor materials and inadequate numbers of crosswalks in the USA are all serious problems.  ( And what was that, again, about drivers being responsible for 94 percent of all crashes? )

Incorrect or Unacceptable Traffic Signs and Pavement Markings

This presentation is related to ‘ Are Drivers the Only Demon in the Equation? ‘, above, but focuses on just this one important aspect.

VEHICLES & EQUIPMENT

Tires and how best to handle winter driving for maximum safety.

Here’s another subject for which so many people believe they know all they need to know, when in fact they don’t.  It has often accurately been said that tires are the most important safety equipment on any vehicle, because once their grip is lost, no other safety device is going to stop you — often resulting in a collision.  This presentation contains important information that many people will never have heard before.

The Advantages of Simply Sitting Safely

Astonishingly, this is something a huge proportion of vehicle drivers and passengers have never even been told, let alone actually done before. This is a far more important and interesting talk than its title might suggest!

Your Conspicuity can be a Critical Safety Factor

Why do drivers turn on their headlights?

Most will tell you it is so that it is so they can see where they are going.  Even when stopped by the police for not using headlights when they should have been, many drivers reject advice and will try to argue that they can see where they are going.  Bad answer… that makes it ‘ticket time’.

The fact is there are two crucial purposes for maximising your conspicuity:  One is so that you, as a pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist [together knows as Vulnerable Road Users or VRUs] can be seen by approaching drivers and be given plenty of safe space when the vehicle passes.

The other is your vehicle may be seen approaching by people who might otherwise have moved into your path.  This presentation looks at several important aspects of this important safety technique.

Global Best Practices in Road Safety

Cherries waiting to be picked!

Using a Multi-disciplinary Approach in ‘Big Picture’ Highway Safety

This clearly beneficial approach has been a cause major challenges right through the years of Wren’s 45-year career.  All too often, the component divisions of the E’s of road safety, the Educators, the Enforcers, the Engineers, the Emergency rescue and evacuation personnel, and the Evaluators (meaning the researchers and academics) all think that their way of doing things is the best way.  Indeed, even researchers’ inability to communicate well with the other groups in this field has been researched and found lacking!  So how do we all find a more effective way forwards and the better outcomes that will result?

Road Safety USA is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organisation and we rely upon sponsorship, grants and donations in order to carry out our work.

If your organization has any access to, or possibility of, grant money or sponsorship to finance our attendance to give one or more presentations for you (and if possible, a donation towards our future work), we ask that your exhaust this approach first.  If that is not possible, please still contact us and we will see whether we can find the necessary sponsors to get us to your event/s.

What is Road Safety? •Today we live in a world where number of vehicles are increasing day by day. •Poverty has enforced people to settle and live on those places which can never be called safe. •Increasing Human Population has increased the number of accidents. •This all causes a great threat to road safety and people walking and driving on road. • There is no guarantee of human life.
• 3. Road safety is set of rules and regulations which are made to ensure proper functioning and proper safety of vehicles andother dwellers. Drive Safe Live Safe
• 4. How to move on Road- ‘Safely………’? • Since the danger on road is increasing day by day, it is very essential for all of us to understand how to keep ourselves safe on road. • There are various ways in which we can protect ourselves from the impending dangers on roads. • There are certain factors which should always be kept in mind while doing any activity on or near road.
• 5. Several safety measures or rules to be kept in mind while doing any activity like:- While Driving a four wheeler (a car) – Seat Belt Always ensure that while driving a car, you and your partner has fasten the seat belt properly. This guarantees that while driving you do not strike the car’s windshield. Air Bags This is a device installed in the steering wheel of car. Whenever car strikes something, air bag gets inflated automatically to absorb the impact energy of the accident.
• 6. Regular maintenance of car (Better to send to service center) It is recommended to send your vehicle to service center periodically for a regular maintenance. This ensures proper working of your vehicle Specially Check For- Brakes- Brakes does a great work in protecting you from accidents. They helps you to follow the speed limit*. Failure of brakes can put you in a great danger. Without proper brakes you may strike with the person moving ahead you. Therefore, it is important to keep a regular check of brakes. Speed limits* are used in most countries to set the maximum (or minimum in some cases)speed at which road vehicles may legally travel on particular stretches of road. Speed limits may be variable. Speed limits are normally indicated on a traffic sign. Speed limits are commonly set by the legislative bodies of nations or provincial governments and enforced by national or regional police and / or judicial bodies
• 7. While driving a two wheeler (a motorcycle or a scooter or a bicycle) Head Cover Or Helmet– A helmet is a form of protective gear worn to protect the head from injuries. Helmets are important to wear while riding any two wheeler because they protect your head from directly entering a clash. Age Limit- We should always be aware about the age limit for driving any vehicle. Currently in India Minimum age limit for driving a vehicle of engine of 55cc or less is 16yrs.

Presentation Transcript

Safety on the Road According to the CDC, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among teens. The fatality rate for teen drivers is about four times higher than the rate for drivers who are 25 to 65 years old.

Lesson Objectives In this lesson, you will learn to: • Develop strategies to prevent accidental injuries while driving or riding in a car or other vehicle • Examine the consequences of risk-taking such as drinking and driving

Automobile Safety Responsible Behavior While Driving • When teens are entrusted with driving a car, they have a responsibility to themselves, their families, their passengers, and the people in other vehicles. • Behaving responsibly means practicing vehicular safety. • Obeying the rules means driving within the speed limit, yielding the right-of-way when indicated, and observing local traffic regulations.

Automobile Safety Exercising Common Sense and Good Judgment Pay attention to: • Your vehicle. • Other drivers. • Road conditions. • Your physical state. • Your emotional state.

Automobile Safety Teen Driving Safety • In an effort to reduce the number of teen deaths in car crashes, some states have adopted a graduated driver’s licensing program. • A graduated driver’s license (GDL) allows a new driver to improve his or her driving skills while under the supervision of an older driver. • Over time, a teen driver gains more skill, and the driving restrictions are lifted.

Automobile Safety Being a Responsible Driver • Always signal when you are about to make a turn or change lanes. • Follow all traffic signals and signs, including speed limits. • Don’t tailgate. Following too closely can cause an accident. • Let other drivers merge safely into traffic.

Automobile Safety Road Rage • Sometimes people who are otherwise emotionally stable become enraged in certain driving situations. • Road rage can be triggered by a variety of acts, including disputes over a parking space, obscene gestures, loud music, overuse of the horn, and slow driving. • Some enraged drivers have been known to use guns or other weapons. • If you see someone who is truly a danger on the road, get the vehicle’s license plate number and report it promptly to the police.

Automobile Safety Importance of Using Safety Belts • According to the CDC’s statistics on teen driving, one in five high school students report that they rarely or never wear safety belts when riding with someone else. • Drivers and passengers who fail to use safety belts are more likely to be thrown from the vehicle in a crash. • Make sure everyone in the car is buckled up.

Automobile Safety Other Preventive Measures • Never engage in high-risk driving behavior such as speeding. • Never use alcohol and other drugs and drive, as these substances impair judgment, coordination, and reaction time. • Don’t let distractions such as eating take your attention away from the road. • Realize that you have no control over what other drivers are doing. So for the sake of your safety, be a defensive driver.

Safety on Wheels Bicycle Safety • Always wear a safety-approved, hard-shell helmet. • Ride with traffic and always yield the right-of-way. • Watch for cars pulling into traffic and for car doors that swing open suddenly in your path. • Obey the same rules as drivers and keep both hands on the handlebars. • Make sure your bike has a bright headlight and a red rear light and reflector for night riding. • Wear reflective or light-colored clothing when riding at dawn, dusk, after dark, or in the rain.

Safety on Wheels Skating Safety • Wear protective equipment—wrist guards, elbow and knee pads, and a safety-approved, hard-shell helmet. • Watch for pedestrians, and keep your speed under control. • If you begin to fall, curl up into a ball and roll, staying loose. • Do not hold anything in your hand that will prevent you from falling properly.

Safety on Wheels Motorcycles and All-Terrain Vehicles • Motorcycles and mopeds are subject to the same traffic laws as cars. • All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are driven off-road. • A driver’s license is not required to operate an ATV, but operators still need to use common sense and know the rules of the road.

Safety on Wheels Safety Tips for Motorcyclists and ATV Operators • Be aware of potential hazards, such as the presence of pedestrians. • Wear a helmet and proper clothing, including eye protection. • Be cautious in wet weather when tire traction is poor. • Do not carry an additional rider unless you have a second seat and an additional set of safety equipment, including a helmet. • Do not grab onto objects or other vehicles while moving. • Do not use ATVs on paved roads or streets.

What Are Workplace Safety Talks?

Safety talks are short safety messages for the members of a work crew prior to work beginning. These talks can be as short as a few minutes or longer than 20 minutes. On average, they are in the range of 5 or 10 minutes long in duration at most companies when conducted often. The talks can cover a range of topics or just a single focal point.

Below are answers to some other common questions individuals may have about conducting these types of talks for their work crews.

$MMT = window.$MMT || {}; $MMT.cmd = $MMT.cmd || [];$MMT.cmd.push(function(){ $MMT.display.slots.push(["57a88d0a-5ddd-4a6a-93de-ba5c49768835"]); })

What are other names for these meetings.

There are many names for safety talks. Some of the more common names are safety toolbox talks, toolbox talks, safety moments, safety briefings, safety pep talks, and tailgate meetings. For the most part, many of these names represent the same thing. However, there can be slight differences between companies or industries.

These meetings, no matter what they are called, are the safety message of the day for a work crew prior to the start of the day.

Providing a Safety Moment of the Day

When done correctly, these talks can have a profound effect on the overall safety program at a workplace. Companies that spend time holding these meetings are less likely to have injuries compared to a company that does not hold them on a regular basis.

Conducting meetings often is an effective way to deliver relevant and timely safety messages to an entire work crew. The time spent conducting these talks also goes a long way toward reinforcing prior training efforts.

Even just holding a 5-minute meeting every day equates to a massive amount of knowledge for your workforce over a year’s time. To be exact- it results in over 20 hours of education per employee a year! (5 minutes X 5 workdays per week X 50 work weeks= 1250 minutes… 1250 minutes/60 minutes per hour= 20.8 hours of education) Imagine the difference that education can make if you make the most out of every talk!

What Topics Should You Cover for These Safety Talks?

The topic or topics you should cover for the next safety toolbox talk will vary greatly from what topic(s) another company should be discussing. Some general questions you can ask yourself to narrow in on some topics:

• What training needs to be reinforced?
• What problems have we been having lately?
• What are common injuries in this line of work?
• What have our near misses been a result of?
• What trends are occurring in the workplace or in our industry?

There are many other questions or guidelines you can use to determine what topics or topics you should cover. Keep topics useful, relevant, and timely.

Where Can I Find Free Safety Topics Online in 2023? 

This site has one of the largest libraries of free topics found online today. That being said, there are also a number of great resources online to find topics for your next safety meeting. One of our favorite resources for topics is on OSHA’s website. They have a page called Safety and Health Topics that has a large list of high-quality topics.

Some other high-quality and reputable sources for toolbox talks or materials to support talks:

• Mine Health and Safety Administration
• Center for Disease Control
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Bureau of Labor Statistics

Who Should Deliver a Safety Talk?

The person who is directing the work should be the one responsible for conducting or leading the safety talk. The responsibility at many companies, however, falls onto the safety officer or EHS manager instead. The reason for having the individual who is directing the work lead the talk is to show support for the message and efforts to work safely.

If it is constantly the EHS department’s responsibility to present, then employees can be led to believe that the frontline supervisors or managers do not truly support safety. If the workers’ supervisors or managers are not participating in the safety efforts, why should they?

The EHS department should instead serve more of an advisory role to the supervisor conducting the talk. They can provide the supervisor with topics, materials, or information for the talk, as well as chime in as needed to add value.

Do not be afraid to offer employees the chance to present at a meeting. While most employees would never choose to present a topic, you may be surprised to find that many would if given the chance.

How Often Should You Conduct Safety Talks?

There is no short and dry answer to how often your company should be conducting these talks. Some companies do multiple talks daily, and other companies may only do them monthly. A monthly schedule is probably way too sparingly for most companies, and two talks a day may be too often for others.

Companies often settle on conducting daily or weekly talks. At many companies, daily safety meetings prior to work beginning is an appropriate practice. Holding meetings that often may not make sense for all operations, however.

As mentioned earlier, these talks do not have to be extremely long. A lot of value can be added in a short amount of time if the talks are completed often. Employees are more likely to take more away from these talks if they are shorter in duration but are more frequent compared to longer meetings that occur infrequently.

Where Should Safety Talks Be Conducted?

These talks should be held in a place where employees are comfortable and can focus. Meeting rooms or break rooms are common areas where companies choose to hold their safety meetings. Another setting that can be even more effective is the work area(s) themselves.

This should only be done if the work area is comfortable, safe, and convenient for all involved in the talk. Conducting the talk in the work area itself can help employees visualize the information being conveyed, as well as allow the presenter to point out specific examples of what they are discussing.

If holding it in the work area is not an option, pictures or maps of the worksite can be great tools so that employees can visualize what is being said.

What Else Can You Do to Have a Better Safety Meeting or Safety Moment?

There are many things you can do to hold a better meeting. Below are a few quick tips that have not already been mentioned in this post:

• Prepare ahead of time.
• Keep topics relevant and timely to the audience.
• Only take the time necessary to cover the topic; do not drag it out.
• Do not read the talk word for word from the paper.
• Get the audience involved by asking for stories or examples relating to the topic.
• Use visual aids as needed to help get your message across.
• Have fun- don’t take yourself so seriously!

Does OSHA Require Safety Toolbox Talks?

While OSHA does not specifically require a company to hold safety talks or toolbox talks in any of their standards, doing so can play a part in helping to ensure compliance with some standards. For example, OSHA requires that employers make employees aware of the hazards of the work that they do and how to eliminate them.

One specific example of this is found in the construction standard under 1926.21(b)(2), where OSHA states: “The employer shall instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and the regulations applicable to his work environment to control or eliminate any hazards or other exposure to illness or injury.”

While training will be a large part of ensuring compliance with this specific regulation, safety toolbox talks are also a way to help to ensure compliance. These talks need to have the correct documentation to do so.

How Should You Document Safety Toolbox Talks?

Without documenting these efforts, there is no actual proof they were done. Meaning there is nothing to show OSHA or someone in your company in response to whether or not you were educating your employees on the hazards involved in their work. A lack of documentation can be problematic.

Every time a talk is conducted, a sign-in sheet should be completed by the presenter and signed by everyone present for the meeting. Some guidelines for documentation:

• Include the date and time.
• Include the presenter(s) name(s).
• Have everyone sign the sheet.
• Be detailed about what topics were discussed.
• Attach any materials used for the talk to the sign-in sheet.
• File documentation in chronological order so they can be easily found to be reviewed if needed.

The answers to the who, what, when, why, and how of safety talks can be as long of a list as the possible topics you could cover in your next meeting. The bottom line is your company should be conducting these talks on a regular basis as well as giving thought on how to continually improve on giving them. Use some of the insight here and tailor it to your company’s needs.
