June is Brain Injury Awareness Month, an important time to highlight a serious and often invisible threat facing Alberta’s transportation workforce.

Brain injuries can have lasting impacts on memory, mobility, and mental health and data shows they remain a significant risk in the commercial trucking sector. Falls, collisions, and winter conditions are leading causes, with concussions being the most common injury.

Between 2019 and 2024, workplace brain injuries in the industry cost between $647,000 and $1.57 million annually. These numbers reinforce the need for proactive safety measures, from fatigue management to fall prevention.

June is Commercial Vehicle Safety Month — a reminder of the critical role commercial vehicles play in Alberta and the shared responsibility we all have to keep our roads safe.

Commercial vehicles are larger, heavier, and operate differently than passenger cars, which means they require extra attention on the road. In 2023, commercial vehicles were involved in 7.2% of all fatal collisions in Alberta, despite only making up 3% of vehicles in casualty collisions.

Driver fatigue and close following distance remain two of the most preventable risk factors — and both can be addressed through awareness and defensive driving.

Let’s work together to make Alberta’s roads safer this June and beyond.
