Nebraska Safety Council, Business Leaders Partner to Make a Difference on NE Roads
The Nebraska Safety Council (NESC, nesafetycouncil.org) is working to make a difference on Nebraska roads, thanks in part to a grant allowing Road Safety Specialist Karen Rehm to partner with business leaders to provide information about road safety as part of their worksite safety initiatives. Funding for the NESC Road Safety Program is provided through the Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office. The Road Safety grant focuses educational efforts on seatbelt safety, cell phone use, and distracted, impaired, and drowsy driving.
To date, the Nebraska Safety Council has partnered with 24 companies, reaching 3,559 employees and 14,236 family members. The Road Safety grant continues through September. If your company would like to participate in the Road Safety Program, contact the Nebraska Safety Council office at (402) 483-2511, ext. 104 or email Karen Rehm at krehm@nesafetycouncil.org to let her know how NESC can help you and your team. This is a free benefit for NESC members. For more information about NESC, visit nesafetycouncil.org.
