According to statistics
we’ve gathered (over nearly 20 years of managing fleet accidents), your fleet
drivers have a 20% increased chance of having an accident in the next 3 months
compared to the rest of the year.
This begs the following
three important questions:
- Which drivers are most likely to have a problem?
- Why do we know (for a fact) that those are the drivers most at risk?
- What can we do to minimise the likelihood of an incident occurring?
Our research also indicates
that:
- less than 20% of fleets use claims statistics when planning a driver training program
- less than 50% of fleets that have Telematics actually use the data to help reduce accidents
- less than 10% of fleets know whether drivers who had training went on the be involved in an accident
The
truth is that implementing fleet risk tools is easy
but
using risk data to reduce accident frequency is not.
If, like most fleets, you
want to see results in terms of reduced accident costs (both insured and
uninsured) and better safety for drivers, then the management of your fleet
risk program needs time, systems and experience.
Talking the safety talk is
easy if you know your onions whereas walking the safety walk is rather more
difficult and many fleets are only just realising there are actually 2 stages
to success in this area.
