Accident management has a critical role in the efficient and safe operation of a fleet.
It covers the steps and procedures involved in preventing, managing and dealing with collisions when they happen – and so forms a crucial part of fleet management.
Through implementing a robust accident management strategy, fleet decision-makers can identify risk and the training needs of drivers, improve driver safety and enhance skills and confidence.
It also has significant cost and operational benefits for an organisation as through reducing incidents it can cut repair costs, insurance premiums, driver sickness absence and vehicle off-road time, therefore minimising disruption to business operations.
If a collision takes place, effective reporting and data collection enables fleet managers to implement targeted interventions and optimise their safety strategies over time.
Effective accident management also helps organisations remain compliant with regulations and maintain a positive reputation.
