As a fleet safety manager, you take pride in your safe operation. Highway safety is important to your drivers, employees and other folks on the road. Maintaining and improving your safety record can reduce liability claims and prevent “nuclear verdicts” from court cases. In a competitive trucking market your reputation relies on good safety practices. And your good safety record qualifies you for a bypass program like PrePass.


You may understand how the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) evaluates your company safety through its Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program. And you know how to access the CSA Safety Measurement System (SMS) portal to look at the data FMCSA uses in its evaluation. This includes the importance of the Inspection Selection System (ISS) rating on the ability of your trucks to bypass weigh facilities.


But therein lies the difficulty. Even with CSA telling you of a problem safety area, you face a challenge: how to pinpoint the source of your safety issues and then how to communicate it. You want to show your fellow employees, drivers and maintenance personnel where improvements can be made and what steps to take. Or when you may need to assure company executives, stakeholders and regulatory agencies of your good safety trend lines.


EVEN WITH CSA TELLING YOU OF A PROBLEM


SAFETY AREA, YOU FACE A CHALLENGE: HOW TO PINPOINT THE SOURCE OF YOUR SAFETY ISSUES AND THEN HOW TO COMMUNICATE IT.


You must first know what to communicate – you need to find the source of your safety problem. Systems contain vast amounts of safety data, reported by many different jurisdictions. While CSA may place an alert in one or more of your BASICs (Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories), finding the state, route, terminal or trucks at the center of your specific safety shortcoming can seem like finding a needle in a haystack.


You must then communicate the information you find in a way others will readily grasp and remember. Government numbers and acronyms are not the answer.


You need a solution that provides an accurate statement of your fleet safety, sortable by location, route or equipment. You need actionable data, with the ability to communicate to all your audiences. When you are a PrePass customer, that is exactly what you get – at no extra charge – with INFORM Safety from PrePass.
