17 October 2018 – European Conference on Work-Related Road Safety, Brussels
Preventing Road Accidents and Injuries for the Safety of Employees
Wednesday 17th October 2018, 09:30 -15:00
Renaissance Hotel, Rue du Parnasse 19, 1050 Brussels
The European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) held the 8th Annual European PRAISE Conference on work-related road safety in Brussels on 17 October 2018.
Using the roads is a necessary part of our working lives. But it’s an ordinary activity that leads to an incredibly high level of injury and death. It is estimated that in Europe six out of ten work accidents resulting in death are road collisions, including both crashes while driving for work and commuting crashes (Eurogip). The PRAISE project addresses the safety aspects of driving at work and driving to work.
The conference brought together fleet safety managers, EU institutions, government representatives, and road safety experts to discuss the latest developments and priorities in work related road safety. The winners of the ETSC PRAISE Awards 2018 were also announced.
