Why Develop a Business Case?
You may need to build a business case to obtain the resources needed to develop or improve your Occupational Road Safety (ORS) Program. Your business case should appeal to the following management responsibilities:
Financial:
Reducing crashes decreases the costs related to:
- WorkSafeBC and vehicle insurance premiums
- Loss of productivity
- Worker absenteeism
Use the online MVI Cost Calculator to identify the direct and indirect costs associated with the type(s) of motor vehicle incidents typically experienced within your organization. A true picture of MVI costs can provide compelling rationale.
Legal:
Employers are legally responsible for protecting the health and safety of their employees in the workplace. This includes workers who drive for work, even occasionally.
Social:
An ORS Program provides safety for both employees and the public. This benefits society as a whole and provides evidence of corporate responsibility.
Business:
An organization’s public image is a key success factor. For example, vehicles with company logos have a strong influence on the way the public views your organization.
