The trend shows that while the industry recognizes the need to reduce risk, not enough is being done to actively identify <em>why<\/em> incidents are occurring and take adequate preventive actions.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Joe Morgan, vice president, North American Sales, Chevin<\/p>\n<p>One strong opportunity for operations to help improve accident management lies in evidence-based risk profiling: Indeed, many organizations are already sitting on vast amounts of fleet-related data that, if harnessed and assessed effectively, could support improved management decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Data-led risk profiling &#8211; including continuous measurement, action and re-measurement of both vehicle and driver risk &#8211; can offer great value in helping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-us\/learning-zone\/8-ways-you-can-reduce-road-risk\/\">reduce the likelihood of accidents<\/a> occurring. It can also help manage the aftermath and keep costs down when incidents do take place.<\/p>\n<p>For example, our own market-leading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-us\/accident-management-software\/\">fleet accident management software<\/a>, FleetWave, can be used to create advanced driver risk profiles by providing real-time visibility into driver accident histories and fines, licenses, driver training and maintenance records, and integrating telematics data related to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-us\/learning-zone\/become-a-good-driver-prevent-accidents-and-save-your-business-money\/\">driver behavior<\/a>. The software can also record information about different vehicles, such as details of services, inspections, usage, utilization and routing. Risk analysis for different drivers and vehicles can also provide value by helping reduce costs (such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-us\/learning-zone\/5-useful-tactics-help-reduce-fleet-insurance\/\">cheaper fleet insurance premiums<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>When accidents do occur, FleetWave can easily identify appropriate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-us\/learning-zone\/considering-vehicle-replacement-strategy\/\">replacement fleet vehicles<\/a> and assign repair work to internal shops or external service providers. The software can also store data relating to accidents, including driver, vehicle, date, time and location details, information on damage, including photos required for insurance claims, and repair quotes.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan says:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #e6283e;\"><strong>\u201cAccidents cost fleets millions of dollars annually. They can cause injuries and fatalities, and can do great harm to a company\u2019s reputation. Data-led risk profiling can be extremely beneficial for helping control accidents and manage incidents at all stages.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section  class=\"content-section content-section--curved content-section--fade-to-grey content-section--big-overlap\">\n    \n    <div class=\"container container--small u-text-center animated fadeInUp\">\n        \n                            <h3 class=\"fadeInUp__1\"><b>You may also be interested in<\/b><\/h3>\n                                <\/div>\n\n    <\/section>\n<section class=\"content-section animated fadeInUp\">\n    \n    <div class=\"container container--no-pad fadeInUp__2\">\n        <div class=\"post-type-wrapper\" data-behaviour=\"featured-slider\">\n                            <a class=\"post-type unstyled post-type--transform \" href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-us\/learning-zone\/8-ways-you-can-reduce-road-risk\/\">\n    <div class=\"post-type__image\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/26104657\/Accident-Reduction_LR-440x440.jpg\">\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"post-type__content\">\n                    <h5 class=\"post-type__type\">Learning Zone<\/h5>\n                <p class=\"post-type__name\"><strong>8 ways you can reduce road risk<\/strong><\/p>\n                <p class=\"post-type__more\">Read more<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/a>\n                            <a class=\"post-type unstyled post-type--transform \" href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-us\/learning-zone\/the-importance-of-compliance-and-risk-management\/\">\n    <div class=\"post-type__image\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/24114811\/Blog-Compliance-440x440.jpg\">\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"post-type__content\">\n                    <h5 class=\"post-type__type\">Learning Zone<\/h5>\n                <p class=\"post-type__name\"><strong>Compliance and fleet risk management<\/strong><\/p>\n                <p class=\"post-type__more\">Read more<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/a>\n                            <a class=\"post-type unstyled post-type--transform \" href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-us\/learning-zone\/create-better-drivers-in-your-fleet\/\">\n    <div class=\"post-type__image\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/23174359\/Telephone-cropped-image-440x400.jpg\">\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"post-type__content\">\n                    <h5 class=\"post-type__type\">Learning Zone<\/h5>\n                <p class=\"post-type__name\"><strong>5 Top Tips: To create better drivers within your fleet<\/strong><\/p>\n                <p class=\"post-type__more\">Read more<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"c-hr hr content-section u-show-mobile\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n    <hr>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fleets can help improve management of accidents with evidence-led projections about fleet risks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2246,"menu_order":0,"template":"","training-cats":[44],"class_list":["post-2262","training","type-training","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","training-cats-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.3 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
