Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of work-related injury deaths in the United States. Millions of workers drive or ride in a motor vehicle as part of their jobs. The risk affects workers in all industries and occupations, whether they drive heavy or light vehicles on the job. Between 2003 and 2014, 22,000 workers died in work-related motor vehicle crashes. In 2013 alone, motor vehicle crashes at work cost U.S. employers $25 billion - $65,000 per nonfatal injury and $671,000 per death. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and its Center for Motor Vehicle Safety (CMVS) are committed to preventing work-related motor vehicle crashes and injuries. Since 2014, the CMVS has followed a 5-year strategic plan for research and prevention to work towards meeting five strategic goals.
