How do you build a Safety First environment into your organization? Start off by addressing one of the biggest exposures of any company, the people driving your company cars and trucks. Accidents can happen even with the most safety-oriented companies so it's better to be prepared with a great business auto policy. You can reduce your risk through a comprehensive safety program that covers the basics to reduce risk and handle any issues that can arise.
Commercial auto policies can protect a mobile company but can cause your costs to rise exponentially if handled poorly.
Here are some quick tips to consider your risks:
-
Have an electronic device training and standards as part of your driver’s training program. These types of devices are a big part of our lives and we rely on them daily. However, we need to take a look at how they are distracting the drivers, how to limit the use and have policies in place to protect the drivers and your company.
