Fleet safety program operators selection

Thus, in a fleet safety program, it is important to select the best operators for the job. The operator is vital to the prevention of accidents, incidents, vehicle damage, and injuries. Careful selection of the operator is paramount to an effective fleet safety program. The selection process should involve access to the operator s past employment history, driving record (including accidents), accommodations, or awards, as well as previous experience, if any, on your type of equipment.

The selection of operators is a key factor in your fleet safety program. Fleet safety may be viewed as vehicle safety or mechanical safety, but it depends on both maintenance and operators. An operator s job must include preoperation inspections and, upon completing his or her use of the vehicle, the reporting of any defects. This should be normal operating procedure for any PMP. Nevertheless, what you can expect is dependent on the quality of your operators. Operators are the center of your fleet safety program.
