Control Costs and Support Drivers With Proactive Injury Management
Return to this page on March 5 at 2 p.m. ET to watch this webinar.
The trucking industry presents unique occupational health and safety challenges that can strain a fleet's bottom line. Drivers are dispersed across time zones and often operate outside of traditional hours to avoid periods of high traffic, but this can mean delayed responses in the event of an injury. At the same time, navigating DOT compliance and medical exams is a time-consuming task that requires regular upkeep. How can fleets not only meet these challenges but also reduce the costs associated with them and improve productivity?
Here's where most fleets miss a critical opportunity: injury management. While operations teams often focus on route optimization or asset utilization, the injury management function often operates as an afterthought — a cost center activated only when something goes wrong. Injuries happen and, for the trucking industry, they are often predictable risks — sprains or strains, falls, minor lacerations or burns from regular truck maintenance. The question isn't whether these risks exist, but whether fleets will manage them reactively or strategically.
Find out what changes you can make today to improve performance and trim costs tomorrow. Mike Pelz, vice president of health and safety solutions at Examinetics, joins Seth Clevenger for a special one-on-one conversation to discuss the benefits of proactively managing driver health and compliance and how high-performing fleets structure their injury management programs.
