TCA Audio Confab Targets Driver Safety
Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in a reactive rut when it comes to accident prevention. But how do we break the cycle and become truly proactive when it comes to protecting drivers and the public
Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in a reactive rut when it comes to accident prevention. But how do we break the cycle and become truly proactive when it comes to protecting drivers and the public?
It all boils down to a behavior changing effort that involves everyone in your company, from the president to the dispatcher to the shop mechanic. The Truckload Carriers Assn. is hosting an audio conference Dec. 15 that will help you understand why people do what they do and how you can change unsafe behavior throughout your company.
The conference runs from noon to 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time and is co-hosted by TCA’s Safety and Security Division.
At this audio conference you will:
-- Learn 10 result-driven steps to successfully bring safety ownership to the operational trenches.
-- Learn how to train dispatchers and driver managers to identify potential safety problems before they happen.
-- Learn practical solutions to increase retention by involving your whole company in the safety process.
-- Learn the Five Steps to "cultivate" change in driver safety performance.
-- Learn proven fleet management techniques to control your drivers speed
