Quest can help you implement an effective fleet safety program to lower your insurance costs and improve driver productivity. We can assist you to reduce accident costs relating to employee injuries, damage to vehicles and materials, and delayed deliveries. We perform safety audits of a variety of fleet types including passenger cars, buses, delivery vans, bulk liquid transporters, and tractor trailers.
Studies indicate that over 90% of vehicular accidents are caused by driver error. Consequently, during our assessments, we emphasize the human aspect including pre-employment screening, reference checks, drug and alcohol policies, orientation programs for new drivers, driver handbook, supervision of drivers, training programs, etc. We want to ensure that only qualified individuals are hired and that they are provided with the proper equipment.
We offer the following services for commercial fleets:
Site surveys
We perform site surveys to assess the following areas:
- Fleet Safety Program Evaluations – To review existing policies and programs and recommend enhancements to allow the implementation of controls that help reduce exposures.
- Driver Safety Award Programs – To help promote, encourage and reward safe driving practices among the fleet's drivers.
- Motor Vehicle Accident Investigation Program – To determine the root causes of an accident and to identify the appropriate remedial action.
- Vehicle Preventive Maintenance Programs – To ensure that the vehicles are maintained in safe, operable condition and that proper documentation is available to demonstrate that.
- Driver Selection and Management Policies – To review current recruiting practices and recommend improvements, as applicable.
- Driver File Audits – To ensure that the organization's policies are followed properly.
- Accident Trend Analysis - To identify trends and develop solutions to prevent recurrences.
Benchmarking
We review the safety programs and operational practices of an organization and compare them to best practices in the industry. In addition to a narrative report, a weighted scoring system allows comparisons of a particular fleet operator with other operators in the same industry. Such programs can be used as the basis for allocating insurance premiums or for determining suitability of a particular operator for acceptance into a captive program.
Consulting Services
We perform targeted assessments that focus on any fleet safety issue that requires resolution. Such consulting services would normally involve less time than a full assessment and would represent a cost saving to the client.
