Fleet safety
The management of occupational road risk — policies, driver qualification, vehicle maintenance, and telemetry for commercial vehicle fleets.
Fleet safety addresses the single largest cause of occupational fatalities in many countries: driving for work. A fleet safety program includes driver qualification (licence verification, medical fitness), vehicle selection and maintenance (pre-trip inspections, preventive maintenance schedules), journey management (route planning, fatigue management, weather assessment), and monitoring (telemetry, dash cams, GPS tracking). Key metrics include crash rate per million miles, preventable vs non-preventable incidents, and near-miss reports from drivers. ISO 39001 provides a framework for road traffic safety management systems.
