By Teri Snow, CSP, CEO of Snow Advisory, LLC and eDriving’s EHS&S “Guru” After evaluating a number of Best in Class EHS&S programs and Driver Safety Programs, it is quite revealing to find that many organizations are managing their Driver Safety programs quite independently from their EHS&S programs and vice versa.

Let’s take a closer look at how such programs might be managed. READ MORE |

The company estimates that U.S. motorists made more than 1.9 million animal collision claims from July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019. In 2018, the New York City Police Department recorded 103 deer-vehicle collisions around Staten Island — a five percent increase from the previous 98 collisions just a year before — and a 232 percent increase from 31 collisions in 2015. Need we be reminded that 2020 has not been an ordinary year. READ MORE |
