How to Reduce Accidents with a Safety Standard for Corporate Fleets

The World Health Organization (WHO) indicated in its global road safety situation report that road accidents cause more than 1,200,000 deaths and 20 to 50 million non-fatal injuries each year. According to the same report, more than 90% of road accident deaths occurred in low- and middle-income countries, which accounted for only 48% of the global vehicle fleet. The WHO predicted that by 2030, road accidents would rise from the ninth to the fifth cause of death. The poor condition of roads and vehicles and the inappropriate behavior of road users are the main causes of accidents.

 

How can our solution help reduce the number of accidents?

 

Thanks to the CMMS maintenance management module, DIGIPARC allows prevention and reduction of losses linked to the fleet, with the aim of reducing insurance claims and helping to mitigate the frequency and severity of future accidents, poorly or poorly maintained vehicles present a greater than average risk of accident or breakdown.

 

Thanks to rigorous monitoring on Digiparc, fleet managers can:

 

 

1. Implement road safety measures that can have an impact beyond company boundaries.
2.  
3. Improve efficiency: Fewer accidents mean less time spent dealing with the consequences.
4.  
5. Improve public image: By avoiding accidents, organizations avoid public attention and maintain a good reputation
6.  
7. Reduce employee injuries: Implementing a system to control claims directly reduces absenteeism, workers' compensation premiums, and health and disability insurance premiums.
8.  
9. Reduce accident costs: These costs come in two forms:
   1. insured costs, which are usually repair/replacement costs covered by insurance
   2.  
   3. uninsured costs, which take the form of non-deductible damage.
10.  
11. Stay compliant with government regulations and legal requirements: Ensuring administrative and legal validity relating to the fleet and drivers ensures overall safety in the business.
12.  
13. Valuing HR: employees feel valued, this reinforces the importance of security and the value of employees in the company.
