When you're in charge of a mobile workforce, you're responsible for your workers’ health and safety under all circumstances, including bad weather. Winters mean more rainy days and wetter roads, which present many unique hazards to your fleet.
You might be confident in your fleet employees. They might be perfectly capable drivers, with seemingly no issues handling themselves and their vehicles on the road.
But when you’re faced with constant downtime, rising insurance premiums, and a ballooning budget for vehicle repair and maintenance, something needs to change. What is the right course of action? It may simply be driver training.
Effective fleet management calls for both wide-ranging and deep visibility. Without it, assessing performance and taking corrective action can be very time-consuming and expensive.
Educated drivers bring a lot of value to organisations that have a mobile workforce. When drivers are kept up-to-date on safety protocols, and are always attentive to safe driving practices, they avoid the dangers of the road and save their employers time, energy, and money.
Christmas time in New Zealand - a great time of family gatherings, backyard cricket, barbecues and the outdoors. There’s one major aspect of the holiday season though, that’s often overlooked...road safety. There are more cars on the road during the summer months than at any other time of year, bringing unfortunately a higher risk of crashes.
