Even as the company continues to increase its level of technological sophistication, UPS's primary job remains moving more than 15 million packages and documents a day. You're still more likely to find a UPS employee driving a package car, or sorting packages in a bustling hub, than behind a desk.

As a result, the company places a premium on safe driving and safe work methods. Whether it's the 4,648 drivers who have 25 years or more without an accident, or the 2,900 employees - led health and safety committees companywide, UPS has developed industry-leading safety training programs and safety equipment.

In this section, you'll learn more about our longstanding commitment to safe driving. For a detailed overview of UPS's safety initiatives, including facility work methods, employee committees and comprehensive training, visit the UPS Pressroom.
