Tracks: Fleet Driver and Transportation Safety

Auto crashes still account for the highest number of severe injuries and fatalities in the workplace. Crashes will be reduced only by eliminating the risky behaviors that lead to unsafe driving. Two approaches can be used to correct unsafe driving habits: proactive (through methods training) or reactive (with telematics and cameras). Both approaches require driver education and accountability. Employers are quickly adopting telematic and camera systems to get greater visibility into their operations, including maintenance, safety and compliance. In this session, we’ll discuss how an effective combination of driver training, telematics and cameras can reduce the risky behaviors that lead to crashes.
