Prevention of automobile risks in business: Increase road safety in three steps!
Did you know that road safety is the leading cause of death at work?
In fact, every year11%people who lose their lives on the road are employees who travel for work. However, most companies – especially small ones – choose to turn a blind eye to a very real risk.
Did you know that business owners risk heavy civil and criminal penalties if one of their employees suffers an accident while driving on a business trip?
Few companies take the trouble to face these facts and implement road prevention actions at their level.
Increasing individual safety is the responsibility of employers regardless of the size of the fleet, which is why companies must seriously think about implementing a common loss prevention approach.
With DIGIPARC, increase the security of your employees in three steps!
A good prevention plan matters3distinct phases: diagnosis, which makes it possible to identify and analyze a company's automobile risk, the development and implementation of a coherent action plan (on vehicles, on drivers, etc.) and monitoring and evaluation of the prevention program.
Map and reduce claims:
In order to be able to reduce claims, it would first identify them, which is why we start with a map of past claims. This mapping will allow us to identify “disastrous” behaviors.
Access to your car fleet data. will be guaranteed by DIGIPARC which takes care of archiving them and which at the same time measures the loss experience of the fleet and its analytical sub-assemblies (e.g. department, service, driver, vehicle, etc.).
The development and implementation of an action plan:
Based on the maps and analyses, those responsible must draw up a set of actions to be applied to vehicles and drivers.
DIGIPARC will ensure a very important point: communication with all employees. In fact, effective communication with employees reduces up to40%the frequency of small claims.
In addition, the tool has an alert system which could be used in the action plan undertaken to reduce claims. Concretely, DIGIPARC alerts users of all changes and upgrades that must be carried out such as technical visits, oil changes, part changes, license renewals, training, etc.
Monitoring and evaluation of the prevention program:
You can easily observe the effectiveness of the actions implemented thanks to DIGIPARC; by consulting the set of statistics and claims measurements automatically calculated by the tool, you can find out whether the prevention program was able to achieve its objectives.
According to market studies, automobile risk represents up to15%of the cost of the fleet while maintenance only totals8%.
So, implementing a prevention plan with DIGIPARC does not cost that much and can pay off big.
