Print ArticleMobile phones are critical to modern business productivity. However, used while driving, mobile phones pose a serious danger to employees and an expensive liability to companies.
According to the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis, mobile phone distractions cause over 1,643 crashes, 904 injuries and 8 deaths per day.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found on-the-job crashes cost employers over $24,500 per crash, $150,000 per injury and $3.6 million per fatality.
A white paper documenting the enormous liability faced by businesses and fleet managers who fail to implement and adequately enforce employee safe driving policies is available from ZoomSafer - the leading provider of innovative software solutions to ensure safe and legal use of mobile phones while driving.
The paper is available for free by visiting www.zoomsafer.com/whitepaper.aspx
