BACK TO BASICS:
is Oct. 1-5, 2012
YOUR KEYS TO SAFE
DRIVING
The Network of Employers for Traffic
Safety (NETS) announces the launch of
Drive Safely Work Week 2012: Back to Basics—
Your Keys to Safe Driving. The 2012 campaign
toolkit can be downloaded FREE via the NETS
website at www.trafficsafety.org beginning
August 9th.
This year’s campaign emphasizes the importance of building and
maintaining a safe-driving foundation—whether employees drive
on behalf of their company, commute to and from work or coach
a new driver at home.

campaign takes place each year
during the first week of October, the
materials are not dated and can be
used throughout the year for continued
promotion of safe-driving practices.
