Accidents with industrial heavy duty commercial vehicles are dangerous and expensive. The last count by the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), over 4,600 fatal work injuries were recorded in the United States. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) published a report that found that up to half of all industry fatalities are partially caused by heavy equipment.

Have you ever been stuck at a red light with no traffic? A new law in Utah would allow vehicles to go through a red-light if the driver stops first, and safety looks in all directions. House Bill 416 was suggested to Representative Ken Ivory by a constituent.

Red Light Law

“He was on his way to the airport, stuck at a red light- we’ve all been there-,” said Rep. Ivory as he told the constituent’s story.  “The red light was terminal; one after another after another and nobody is here, nobody is here.  He went through the red light. There was a police officer in a parking lot nearby. Got a ticket...

I’ve written about my own personal experience with the dangers of drowsy driving before. It is a dangerous epidemic that cannot be ignored. After analyzing dashboard videos from 700 accidents, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that 9.5% of all crashes involved drowsy driving, based on the portion of time the operators' eyes were closed in the minutes before a crash. This statistic grows to nearly 11% in severe crashes.

My parents bought a new (to them) car last November. My mom was very pumped about the included backup and side camera.

"It has grid lines when you back up! The cameras change when I use my turn signal!" She happily exclaimed after she brought it home. When I came back to Kansas for Christmas, she proudly showed me how everything worked.

Many new vehicles now come standard with backup and/or side cameras. It makes sense. Laws are changing, and the new generation are learning to drive with cameras. The question remains, how can I make my parents even safer? After hearing all about my mom's backup...

Thanks to Vision Zero, New York pedestrian deaths are the lowest since 1910. This is the first year the city began recording these deaths.

101 pedestrians were killed by vehicles in 2017, while 184 pedestrians were killed in 2013 when the initiative was first proposed by then candidate Mayor De Blasio.

Steps taken for Vision Zero include reducing speed limits, changing street corners, and adjusting cross signals.

“The lower speed limit, increased enforcement and safer street designs are all building on each other to keep New Yorkers safe,” Mr. de Blasio said in a statement. “Now we must deepen...

According to recent data from the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, 5,190 fatal work injuries occurred in 2016. This is a 7% increase from 2015. This is the third year in a row this number has increased.

At 40% (2,083) of the fatalities, transportation accidents remained the most common cause of work deaths. Violence committed by people or animals and On-the-job overdoses from non-medical use of drugs or alcohol are also high on the list.

National Safety Council

In response to this data, The National Safety Council is urging employers to take a systematic approach to this problem.

Airbags are advanced enough to protect a passenger at nearly every possible angle of a crash. Hyundai and parts supplier company Hyundia Mobis are pioneering a new kind of airbag, for panoramic sunroofs.

Panoramic Sunroof Airbag

According to a video released by the company the system prevented the passenger from being flung out of the car and cushioned the impact on the head. Serious injury likely to result in the death of the passenger were reduced to minor injuries. The airbag inflates in 0.08 seconds and will go off even if the sunroof is closed. Watch the video below.
