To transport
people and materials safely, it is essential that everyone involved in a
transportation system be adequately trained, supervised, and monitored. Detailed
data and incident reports must be maintained to identify trends and problem
areas, and to implement process and safety improvements.
Motor Fleet Safety and Security Management provides you with a thorough
understanding of how to develop and manage a comprehensive motor fleet safety
and instructional program. It lays the groundwork necessary for effective
management of transportation systems and addresses the steps necessary for
successful driver selection, training, instruction, and supervision.
Other topics covered include elements of a fleet safety program, accident
prevention, considerations for a small fleet, vehicle inspection, organization
of accident data, job safety analysis (JSA), fleet transportation publicity,
school bus safety, hazardous material shipping and storage, and transportation
security.
The book contains an appendix that offers a model of a motor fleet
transportation program to assist you in the integration of the author's concepts
into the development of your company's safety and training programs.
