Work related road safety

Your organisation can be a safer work-related driving environment ... let us show you how!

Fleet Safety Services provided by CARRS-Q

The Fleet Safety Management Team at CARRS-Q offers organisations a variety of services aimed at improving vehicle fleet safety. We tailor services to meet the unique needs of each organisation regarding their fleet size, vehicle composition, organisational culture, and budgetary constraints. The human and financial benefits of CARRS-Q services are recognised by our clients at a state, national and international level.
 

CARRS-Q services include:

Fleet safety policy development
An initial and ongoing component of our fleet safety program is the revision of fleet safety policy and process. CARRS-Q can provide a practical and informative review of policy, procedures and organisational expectations, essentially to help organisations reach an optiminal standard of fleet safety policy and procedure. CARRS-Q transforms fleet safety policy into practice.

Crash recording and reporting processes
One of the most useful tools that fleet safety personnel have at their disposal is crash data recording and reporting. CARRS-Q identifies areas where most companies can implement immediate changes improving their overall fleet safety strategy. CARRS-Q's experience in assessing the effectiveness of an organisation's existing standards and regulations gives valuable guidance in the reporting and recording mechanisms.

Seminars and educational workshops
CARRS-Q offers workshops, seminars and relevant topics to personnel interested in fleet safety management. These are structured to meet the needs for both the participants and their organisations.

Driver profiling
CARRS-Q uses driver profiling to develop baseline measures of factors known to influence driver behaviour. Results inform work-related road safety intervention programs. The benefits include awareness raising, along with targeting organisational and cultural beliefs. CARRS-Q's valid and reliable measures profile organisations of various sizes with small or large vehicle fleets.

Fleet benchmarking
Benchmarking provides an opportunity to research the common elements and the differences between organisational fleet operational approaches, procedures, crashes, organisational culture and countermeasure initiatives. CARRS-Q establishes a series of benchmarking mechanisms to evaluate current and future work-related road safety practices and inititives. Information benchmark enables the effectiveness of work-related road safety intervention strategies to be evaluated.

Tailored interventions
CARRS-Q recognises all organisations have unique cultures and company structures. We tailor fleet safety interventions to suit specific work environments required by organisations. Interventions recommended by CARRS-Q are guided by theory, have high practical application, and are informed by an organisational specific research process. Countermeasures aimed at a variety of risk behaviours addressing high-risk sectors of the vehicle fleet are identified through research processes. Strategies target a variety of driving behaviours and high risk groups.
