WorkSafe Saskatchewan and Roughrider Lineman and race car driver Brendon LaBatte #58 have teamed up this summer to bring Mission: Zero into Mosaic Stadium.

LaBatte shared his race car safe driving tips with WorkSafe and Rider fans – tips he wants Rider Nation to take back to the highway and their homes:

  • Never drink and drive. Stay alert.
  • If you’re tired, don’t drive.
  • Keep your phone off and put away.
  • Whatever you ride, always wear the gear.

WorkSafe chose to focus on road safety because highway crashes are one of our highest causes of injury and death. One-third of Saskatchewan’s workplace fatalities are motor-vehicle related

[1] and Saskatchewan has the second-highest motor vehicle fatality rate in Canada[2]

We need to drive better. Drive safe, Rider Nation! Go Green!

Wear the gear

Turn off your phone

Drive Sober
