SUMMARY

This workshop discusses the critical elements necessary to run an effective Fleet Safety Program, and to enable you to analyze your risks, and develop your own Fleet Safety Program.

Management Series

Fleet Safety Management was developed to help managers reduce auto losses.

"Safe driving and proper vehicle maintenance reduces operating expenses and reduces losses."

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Millions of dollars a year are awarded to claimants for automobile injuries. These awards can be financially devastating to the public employers who pay them. One way or another, with or without insurance, the negligent party will shoulder the cost of large awards. One way to reduce these kinds of claims is to implement and adhere to a Fleet Safety Program.

This workshop explains how a Fleet Safety Program will help you manage the risks associated with vehicle-related events, reduce exposure to significant liabilities, and save your municipality significant amounts of money.

Topics Covered:

Elements of Fleet Safety Programs
How to develop a Fleet Safety Policy
How to implement a Fleet Maintenance Program
Driver training and education programs
Driver Performance Guidelines
The importance of documentation
Owned and non-owned vehicles
