Keeping safety issues at a minimum can help a company save money on insurance and reduce risk of injury, both of which contribute to a company’s bottom line. Having a smoothly functioning safety department is more appealing to drivers, clients, and management, helping to increase your customer base.
How can Russ King & Associates help to improve your safety department?
Our team is able to quickly diagnose, analyze, and implement strategies that enhance a company’s safety standing. By allowing us to manage all of the moving parts in your safety department, your senior management can rest assured that their fleet and team are well trained and that their customers’ products and reputations are protected.
What are some ways in which we can help improve upon your safety department, regardless of how well it’s currently functioning?
- Increased Driver Awareness– We ensure that your company’s drivers are well educated through CIT (Continuous Improvement Training), something most companies do not even think about needing. We at Russ King & Associates believe that learning should never stop, even in trucking.
- Lowering Your CSA Rating– Lowering collisions, improving maintenance, and boosting road performance with lower driver citations are all ways to help lower your CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) rating. With a lower rating, your company can have more access to better clients, improving your income projections and allowing your company to grow and expand.
- Hours of Service Monitoring & Guidance– Increased driver training and awareness about the ever changing rules, including updated ELD training. Proactive guidance when a driver has an issue or concern. We monitor real time and reach out to offending drivers immediately to reduce recurrence.
- Mock DOT Audits– To keep a company well tuned and primed for growth, they first must make sure they meet all state and federal regulatory compliance. We do mock audits every 6 months to ensure that when the DOT comes knocking, you will be ready, compliant, and successful.
- CSA Monitoring and Guidance– We monitor the federal portal for real time violation enforcement and quickly work to confirm the event, or if erroneous, work to overturn the event through the federal DataQ system, getting those CSA infractions off your record as soon as possible.
- Collision Investigation and Representation– Time is of the essence when it comes to a collision event. Getting all of the pertinent information as quickly as possible allows us to create a strong case file that your lawyers and insurance companies long for. We will manage driver interviews, photo management, and document securement, and will work with your insurance companies to create a strong defense to make the event the least impactful to your records as can be. We continue that representation by being by your side if an event goes through the legal system, giving you the force and backup to mount a successful defense.
