slide 3: Key Elements For a Fleet Safety Program
“Many people in business believe they are intuitively careful enough in their fleet
operations and don’t quite see why a formal approach and systematic analysis are
needed. Azuga’s telematics solution for commercial fleets carries an emphasis on
influencing driver behavior to enhance safety and business outcomes. "
slide 4: Key Elements For a Fleet Safety Program
• Many people in business believe they are intuitively careful enough in their fleet
operations and don’t quite see why a formal approach and systematic analysis are
needed. Or they simply don’t have the bandwidth.
• So let’s ask why is it imperative to create a detailed safety policy What are the main
elements in such a policy
• Vehicle-related deaths are the leading cause of workplace fatality. Motor vehicle deaths
as per the National Safety Council’s report increased 6.8 from 2015 to 2016 following
a similar increase of 6.7 from 2014 to 2015.
• In larger trucks according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety IIHS 66 of
deaths are occupants of the other vehicle. Losses arising out of a vehicle accident
averagely add up to 70000. That’s about double the average loss due to a non-vehicle
related workplace injury.
• To identify and address the components in the situation let’s consider the vehicle – its
use and its maintenance and then the driver i.e. driver health driver competence and
driver behavior.
slide 5: Key Elements For a Fleet Safety Program
Fleet Vehicles – monitor their movement and maintenance
• First the vehicle. Who uses it and when Is a vehicle sometimes in personal use by an
employee or their family members Where is the vehicle parked Are there clear
instructions about reporting maintenance issues in time so that they can be attended to
• In the event of an accident you have to investigate if some aspect of the vehicle is among
the causes so that it can be addressed.
• Rigorously adhering to maintenance schedules is an important contributor to safety and
this is where maintenance alerts from a telematics solution play an indispensable role.
Driver Training – in June and year round
• We now come to the driver. On the subject of driver competence we can refer to the
National Safety Council’s recommendation of training for fleet safety. Their Motor Fleet
Safety guidelines advise that there be training while inducting a driver or fleet manager as
well as training as an ongoing activity both in the classroom and in the vehicle.
slide 6: Key Elements For a Fleet Safety Program
• The National Safety Month every June is an excellent opportunity to conduct refresher
courses put up posters and stickers and raise awareness of the importance of Safety
practices. A fleet manager can ensure that all drivers are informed about new vehicles
and update them about compliance with NHTSA rules.
When fleet drivers compete and promote Safety everyone wins
• Azuga focuses on driver behavior to influence it such that the overall fleet safety score
can be improved. Our fleet management solution monitors and creates individual profiles
for negative driving behaviors such as hard braking and rapid acceleration but offers
opportunities for frequent rewards for good performance. This is in consonance with a
NSC guideline that recommends that all fleet drivers should be advised on their strong
and weak areas and offered coaching where necessary. Their roadside inspection reports
should also be discussed once in a while with them
slide 7: Key Elements For a Fleet Safety Program
Rest assured an alert driver is a safe driver
• Driver health has a huge role to play in fleet safety and drivers must be made conversant
with the DOT standards and certification requirements. Their lifestyle and habits can affect
their on-the-job performance.
• Azuga’s clients across industries and service businesses have improved their Fleet Safety
Score in a matter of weeks by implementing a rewards system that is based on its
advanced driver ranking which both identifies winners as well as drivers who need
remedial coaching.
• Our telematics solution for commercial fleets carries an emphasis on influencing driver
behavior to enhance safety and business outcomes.
