National Safety Council Presents Excellence in Driver Safety Training Award

Every year the NSC Defensive Driving Team recognizes the top chapters for their contributions for most new instructors trained, top training centers for most drivers trained along with Instructor of the Year, and Commitment to Driver Safety Excellence awards across all our defensive driving programs.

"Traffic crashes are the number one cause of death in the workplace. Properly using all of the safety equipment in your vehicle, along with driving safely could save your life. That's why Beacon is committed to providing our policyholders driver safety training to protect them on and off the job," said David Blair, Vice President of Claims and Loss Prevention at Beacon Mutual.

The National Safety Council trains more than 1 million drivers each year with its defensive driving programs.
