Driver Safety

The focus on driver safety is now an expected requirement for all companies with a mobile workforce. Insurance companies and social consciousness are driving the effort to implement safety programs and proactive coaching using the availability of affordable technology and a commitment from management to create and maintain a culture of safety. Unusual vehicle movements are detected and translate to trends that indicate unsafe driving habits. New Artificial Intelligence (AI) features in dashcams identify driver actions that can alert and report on distracted driving activity. On-board audible alerts have shown to be the most effective method to modify the negative behaviors without the need for personal interaction and confrontation. Positive results are also evident when gaming the statistics to incentify drivers to improve their scores. 

There are hard and soft benefits for taking advantage of the data and tools that are the foundation of today’s safety programs. It just makes sense, saves money, reduces incidents and manages risk. Reduce frequency of repairs on brakes, tires and engine wear. Save on fuel. Protect your good drivers from fraudulent claims and incidents that require evidence of parties at fault. Get the best insurance rates by demonstrating the positive results from your driver safety program. The culture of safety around the company becomes contagious and can even be part of your identity. There has never been a better time to promote your company as “safety conscious.”
