SUMMARY

Management Series

Fleet Safety Management was developed to help managers reduce auto losses. This workshop is part of CIRMA’s Management series.These workshops provide managers and supervisors the understanding they need to develop a more effective risk management program.

For more information about the workshops, please email CIRMA at cirmaworshop@ccm-ct.org.

"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

After completing this course, the participant will be able to:

  • Identify the financial risks and legal principles that affect organizations with vehicle fleets.
  • Outline the critical and general components of a Fleet Safety Program and describe the benefits.
  • Understand the procedures for hiring and training drivers; and the performance guidelines for vehicles and drivers.
