Topic: Best Practices in Fleet Safety & Risk Management

There continues to be a growing interest of companies using telematics technology to proactively identify and mitigate risks in a fleet by collecting and analyzing data on driver’s behavior, vehicle health, and operational efficiency. By monitoring metrics like speeding, harsh braking, and engine diagnostics, companies can improve safety, ensure compliance, reduce costs, and prevent accidents. In addition, telematics has proven to be an effective defense against wrongful alleged claims from 3rd parties. Join us for an engaging discussion on how 2 companies have implemented telematic technology as part of their Fleet Safety and Risk Management strategy.

Our speakers will be Myles Byrd – Hi-Tech Safety Director, Hoffman Construction Company and Charlie Emerson – Safety Director, NW Natural Gas.
