Impaired Driving Resources Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death in Minnesota through age 34 and the leading cause of workplace death. Each year, alcohol-related traffic crashes in Minnesota kill about 200 people and severely injure nearly 500. Last year, the economic impact of these deaths and injuries cost the state over $250 million-impacting individuals and businesses alike. Protect your workers and your bottom line by educating your employees about the dangers and consequences of driving under the influence. Use the following resources and suggestions to write a newsletter article, plan a "brown bag" lunch session or find materials suitable for posting. You'll also find suggestions for involving your organization in broader community efforts. Free posters, payroll stuffers and brochures from the Minnesota Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS). Use fax order form or submit online at www.minnesotasafetycouncil.org/NETS/NETSOnlineOrderForm.cfm. Reserve "Fatal Vision" goggles that simulate various levels of impairment. Have volunteers attempt standardized sobriety tests such as the "the walk and turn" and the one-leg stand just as they would at a DWI stop.
