Most musculoskeletal risk for drivers doesn’t come from driving itself, but from the surrounding tasks and conditions.

Getting in and out of the cab. Adjusting posture. Handling equipment.

A few simple habits can make a big difference over time.

Roadway safety doesn’t start when a commercial driver gets behind the wheel. It starts well before the drive and includes what happens both in and around the cab.

Performance is shaped by things like rest, focus, and how someone shows up at the start of a shift.

Organizations that see better outcomes tend to focus on those early factors and build simple habits into daily routines:

• Prioritizing rest
• Keeping pre-trip routines consistent
• Recognizing early signs of fatigue

Other considerations include creating a safety culture that supports lasting change and developing wellness programs that address driver needs at every stage of their career.

Preventive safety and wellness habits help commercial drivers reduce injury risk, improve ergonomics, and stay healthy for the long haul.

Did you know roadway incidents involving motor vehicles are the leading cause of work-related deaths?

As part of National Safety Month, this week focuses on roadway safety—and the everyday decisions that impact risk.

The biggest factors aren’t always conditions. They’re behaviors, including:
• Distraction
• Fatigue
• Impaired judgment
• Speed

These risks exist on the road and anywhere attention and decision-making matter.

About 35% of workplace injuries happen within the first year—and many in the first 90 days.

In our latest blog, Becky Espinoza, Fit For Work Area Manager, explores why new hire injury prevention starts before Day One.

When hiring, testing, and onboarding aren’t aligned with real job demands, early injury risk rises.

A better approach:
▪️Align post-offer testing with job demands
▪️Use data beyond pass/fail
▪️Connect HR, safety, and operations

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, highlighting an important reality that work stress often shows up in the mind—and the body.

In our latest blog, Katie Kolb, Injury Prevention Specialist at Fit For Work, breaks down psychosocial ergonomics: how job demands, stress, and workplace culture influence injury risk, reporting behavior, and recovery.
