Why Do You Pursue Safety?
Is it because over 42,000
people die each year in
motor vehicle crashes?
Perhaps someone you love has
been or may become involved in
a motor vehicle crash?
Why Do “We” Pursue Safety?
• Because we can do more together than
independently of each other’s best efforts.
• Because there are many great ways to
reduce the risk drivers face when behind the
wheel – Safety Hotlines are only a part of
the equation.
• Because we are passionate to try and
make a difference in our employee’s and
families’ lives.
Safety IS Our Goal
• Fleet safety resources are widely available,
but sometimes are focused on noncommercial drivers (ie. teens, personal
cars, etc.)
Safety IS Our Goal
• SafetyFirst’s goal is “to reduce commercial
vehicle collisions and the costs associated
with them”
• To support this goal we research, author
and collect valuable articles and training
slides – focused on “commercial vehicles” to help our customers.
Safety IS Our Goal
• Since each fleet has unique concerns and
is always pressed for time, we do not ‘flood’
our clients with these articles
However, we have
arranged a resource
library on our web site
for their benefit.
Access to the Resources
• Each hotline client is provided with a unique
ID and password to access our resources,
and their company data (derived from our
safety hotline process)
• The log in process is simple, and delivers
each client to a menu of choices.

• This presentation will focus on options NOT
related to running specialty reports
• Information on accessing reports is covered

Ten-Minute Training Topics
• The first section we’ll review is a library of
Ten-Minute Training Topics.
• These topical training sessions for drivers
have been sent monthly since May 2003.
Ten-Minute Training Topics
• The training topics provide an opportunity to:
– refresh all of your drivers on how to avoid
certain types of collisions, and
– can be used as an additional support tool for
drivers with repeat complaints.
Ten-Minute Training Topics
• Each topic contains a handout for your
drivers and a 8” X 11” mini-poster.
Ten-Minute Training Topics
• Some contain a “manager’s supplement”
document to provide additional insights to
your supervisors:
– Recent news stories
about the topic
– Web site resources
– Questions they might
hear from drivers
Ten-Minute Training Topics
• Recently, we’ve added power point slide
shows, driver handbooks, word searches
and other elements to support our client’s
efforts to raise safety awareness.
Ten-Minute Training Topics
• We are working on ways to translate our
current materials into an online, interactive
program with quizzes and recordkeeping.
• This approach could be combined with
electronic report returns to further
streamline the program.
Ten-Minute Training Topics
• Topics include issues such as:
– Drowsy Driving
– Pedestrian Collisions
– Poor Visibility
– Parking Lot Collisions
– Crash Reporting
– Following Too Closely
– Lane Change Collisions
– Honoring the Right of Way
Ten-Minute Training Topics
• The library is arranged in two parts:
– Administrative notices (release calendars,
supplemental information, etc.)
– Training topics arranged by release date
(showing a topic title or description, too)

Technical Presentation Library
• Next, let’s look at our Technical
Presentation Library…
Technical Presentation Library
• Each year, we speak at safety conferences
and expos around the USA.
Technical Presentation Library
• When we return from these sessions, we
update our library with our slide shows so
that safety managers can access a wide
variety of power point slide shows.
• These slide shows can be used as is, or as
the basis for your own presentation
research.
Technical Presentation Library
• The presentations are currently arranged
from oldest to most recent.
• Each section includes the name of the
conference where the slides were originally
presented, the
original presentation
date and title.
Technical Presentation Library
• To view a slideshow, just click on the title,
and then click “open”
Reference and Support
• Next, let’s take a look at our “help” section –
the reference and support document library
Reference and Support
• We’ve created a section of reference and
support documents to help clients
understand various features of our program.
• Additionally, when you have new staff or
supervisors join your firm, it provides
training on how the program works.
Reference and Support
• This menu works like the others – just click
on a document name to view it.
If you don’t see a topic
or issue presented that
you have questions
about, call us – we will
send you the needed
information, and work
on getting it added to
the site for future
reference.
Fleet Safety Articles
• Finally, let’s review our library of fleet safety
“position papers” and published articles.
Fleet Safety Articles
• From time to time, we have had fleet safety
articles published in various journals.
• These articles deal with issues like setting
up MVR review plans, protecting your
documents as evidence following a crash
and “negligent entrustment”
Fleet Safety Articles
• We’ve posted several of these articles on
our site for your review.
• As additional articles are published by
SafetyFirst authors, or are published about
SafetyFirst,
we’ll add them
to the list.
Summary
• For now, that’s what we’ve posted for
clients to access.
• Each list grows as we add new:
– Training Topics,
– Articles and
– Reference materials.
Summary
• We’d like to hear from you about:
– additional materials you’d
like to see, or
– ways to present information
in easy-to-use formats.
THANK YOU
• Thank you for your commitment to
reducing crashes and the costs
associated with them.
Together,
we can
save lives
