If your accident investigations and analyses produce some baffling results such as no specific trends in types, conditions etc. and no specific indicators such as driving records, experience, age etc. of those who are involved in accidents, you might check into some other possibilities. Those could include new routes, new customers, new freight, new equipment, etc. There may be a change in operations that could be adversely affecting the results. Or, it could simply mean that “refresher” training and “awareness” might be due. Your program might need a bit of revitalizing to renew interest and to keep accident “prevention” methods fresh. It’s hard to beat formalized training but there are also other techniques such as safety “campaigns”, slogans, games, newsletters, etc. Another excellent technique is to get drivers involved. You can involve drivers in all of the above, and you’ll probably get even better results. Here’s another tip: Recognition awards and driver elevation programs can be enhanced by requiring the completion of regular training programs.
