Six Technologies For Improved Fleet Safety

By Mentor Engineering

Fleet safety issues account for over 40 percent of workplace fatalities1. This fact reveals the importance of putting safety measures in place, but fleet safety presents unique challenges because of its mobile nature. How do you account for worker safety when workers are moving throughout your service area? This paper will examine six technologies that, when used separately or in conjunction with each other do just that.

Maintaining the safety of your fleet operations is the most important job of any mobile fleet manager. In-vehicle and in-office technology can reduce the time required to locate a vehicle in an emergency, improve driver behavior, lower crime rates, open lines of communication, and enable preventative vehicle maintenance. When these technologies are paired with a conscientious management team, stringent safety standards, and extensive safety training, exceptional fleet safety is within your reach.
