Everus

During National Safety Month, Everus recognizes the importance of preventing back-over accidents. Whether at work or at home, taking a few extra moments of caution before moving a vehicle can help prevent serious injuries.

In 2015, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported 284 children's fatalities and more than 12,000 injuries from back-over incidents. Because of blind zones and limited visibility, backing has become one of the most dangerous vehicle maneuvers. Before entering the vehicle, be sure to check your surroundings, ensure child supervision, and install backup sensors and cameras when available.

At Everus, our value for safety extends far beyond the job site. Back-over incidents are a crucial reminder for all drivers to stay attentive behind the wheel. Spatial awareness and taking extra precautions can help protect your family, co-workers and community.
