TES 2000 – Top Takeaways
- All employees from HR to admin do the same learning as the drivers, even if they’re only driving their own vehicles. Mick says you cannot ask someone to do something if you’re not prepared to do it yourself.
- Mick says it would not have been possible to achieve all of this without the full support of the directors and the great resources available from DfBB and other sources. It takes investment but, within a few months, companies will achieve substantial return on that investment.
- Every fleet should have professional management and, says Mick, those managers should not be afraid of confrontation. Safety interventions are for the benefit of drivers and the public as well as the company, and that’s worth facing down initial resistance.
- Strict, enforced policies should be balanced with recognition and reward for compliance, improvement and safe performance.
