Reducing Vehicle Collisions Thru a Safety Hotline Program A Brief Overview of the Program
Safety Hotline Program Purpose • To identify those drivers who take serious risks before they become involved in a collision. • To coach affected drivers – to change their habits – before they become involved in a collision.
Program Step by Step A decal is placed on the rear of each company vehicle.
Program Step by Step • Motorists who observe especially risky driving behaviors call a toll-free phone number and report their observations.
Program Step by Step • The SafetyFirst call center, staffed around the clock by highly trained professionals, validate the call and screen it for details.
Program Step by Step • The call center initiates a “polite interrogation” of each caller to verify information and get an accurate picture of what truly happened.
Program Step by Step • Most fleets get only 2 or 3 reports per 100 vehicles per month • Not time consuming, and provides a high degree of focus on areas for improvement
Program Step by Step • Most drivers (80%) never get a report about their driving… • About 10% get a single complaint and never get another • About 10% get multiple complaints over time, usually about the same types of issues
Program Step by Step • Reports are then sent via email (or fax) to your location supervisor for investigation and coaching of the affected driver.
Program Step by Step • Duplicate reports can be sent at the same time to whoever needs to be copied on the report – district managers, regional safety managers, etc.
Program Step by Step • Location supervisors discuss the report with the affected driver. • This is an attempt to understand what actually took place and to provide reinforcement of safe driving practices.
Program Step by Step • Along with each observation report, SafetyFirst provides one or more matching safe driving tips. • These tips are reviewed with the driver in order to document that coaching took place.
Program Step by Step • SafetyFirst also provides a training program on how to conduct effective coaching sessions.
Program Step by Step • The program highlights the few drivers who need the most urgent assistance before a collision.
Program Step by Step • The final step involves returning the completed reports back to SafetyFirst by fax for closeout.
Program Step by Step • Returning the reports enables: • Detailed activity summary reports on a monthly basis. • Identification of drivers with repeat reports. • Documentation that the driver was coached on their safety issues
Monthly Training Topics • You will receive a “Ten-Minute Training Topic” each month to share with your drivers and managers.
Monthly Training Topics The training package includes: • Two-page driver handout • Posters with key summary points • Supplements of additional information for the supervisor • Power point slideshows
