Abstract

This paper outlines how Blue Care moved fleet safety from an era where there was minimum focus on crash frequency or driver risk analysis and no training, to today, where fleet safety is a core function of the Fleet Management Unit. This case study reviews the processes Blue Care undertook to reduce crash rates which included (a) comprehensive risk analysis, (b) driver education, (c) thoughtful vehicle selection and (d) the development of industry partnerships to achieve the desired outcomes.
