Each month, Rental Management highlights a topic that will help
equipment and event rental companies conduct effective safety meetings.

Every year, 1,550 people are killed and 71,000 are injured in crashes involving drowsy driving. These statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show the dangers of getting behind the wheel while feeling drowsy.
