Fleet Safety-Safety Assessment

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A fleet safety program should focus on driver behaviors, not just outcomes like accidents. A behavior-based safety (BBS) assessment goes in-depth by evaluating why behaviors occur, identifying unsafe actions, and ensuring drivers are coached effectively in real time. Such assessments reveal systemic causes of risky behaviors, such as unclear expectations or insufficient training, and emphasize positive reinforcement over punishment to change habits. Encouraging clear communication, thorough coaching, and effective feedback helps shape safer driving cultures. A BBS approach offers a comprehensive strategy for sustainable safety improvements by understanding and modifying driver behaviors.
