Video Summary
Corey Wanorowicz leads a panel discussion emphasizing the critical importance of safety in fleet management, advocating for safety to be embedded in company culture rather than treated as a shifting priority. The panelists, experienced fleet professionals, highlight their approaches to safety policies, including monthly or annual reviews and the incorporation of driver handbooks to engage drivers directly. They discuss the balance of rewards versus punishment, promoting positive reinforcement like gamification and recognition programs to motivate safe behavior, which also helps reduce insurance costs.<br /><br />Technology plays a pivotal role in safety, with telematics and in-cab event recorders cited as essential tools that decrease accidents and aid in coaching drivers, while also serving as legal protection through video evidence. The panel addresses overcoming resistance to technology by focusing on its safety benefits, not surveillance. Building strong relationships with stakeholders across departments and fostering open communication with drivers are seen as foundational to creating trust and effective safety cultures.<br /><br />Regular safety meetings, often weekly or monthly, are used to review incidents, share lessons, and maintain focus on safety. Panelists emphasize proactive measures, such as crash reconstruction and AI-driven alerts, to prevent accidents before they occur. The session closes with advice for new fleet managers to secure leadership buy-in, know their policies, engage all stakeholders, and leverage industry collaboration to enhance safety and ensure drivers return home safely every day.
