Fact: Counties have large vehicle fleets Fact: Counties utilize many older drivers Fact: “… those age 55 and older have twice the risk of dying in a work-related crash than younger workers do. One possible reason is that older persons are more likely to be injured if they are in a crash, and more likely to die if they are injured.” (From the attached NIOSH Fact Sheet Older Drivers in the Workplace: How Employers and Workers Can Prevent Crashes) The NIOSH fact sheet, Older Drivers in the Workplace: How Employers and Workers Can Prevent Crashes, contains much valuable information on a risk all CORSA members faces and should be taking active actions to mitigate.
