Mo tenei aratohu
Fleet managers know safety is important. According to our recent survey, 93% of fleet managers said their teams perform better when safety is a top priority. But despite this, one-third of respondents don’t have a formal safety program.
The biggest barrier? Many fleet managers believe they don’t have the time, budget, or buy-in to launch a program that works, and that they are able to maintain.
Engari ko te tiimata kaore e hiahia kia whai mahere tino pai me te pakari. Inaa, tera pea ka nui ake te kino i te pai. Engari, ko te hanga i tetahi kaupapa haumaru e mahi ana me timata noa, me te hiahia ki te whakatika pai i te mahi i te huarahi.
We partnered with Sam Watts, a longtime fleet safety expert and founder of Wattsmen Diesel Whare to help you implement a safety program that works and is supported by everyone involved. Sam’s worked with fleets of all sizes to build safety programs that actually stick. He has been in the trenches with the day-to-day processes, performed safety audits, and created customized safety programs. With his help, we’ve pulled together the key questions you need to ask (and answer) to launch a program that drivers buy into, support staff can manage, and leadership can stand behind.

In truth, a safety program can fail to take root even when equipped with the ideal suite of tools and SOPs. Too often these programs are rolled out in a single all-hands meeting with little notice and even less buy-in from drivers, or they rely too much on data nobody knows how to interpret, or they gain a reputation for being replaced every year anyway, so why bother?
Many of these plans are great on paper but never make it past that kickoff meeting. And that’s too bad, because a working safety program — defined here as one that lowers incident rates and generally makes organizations more pleasant to work for — is a priority that 93% of fleet managers agree benefits their teams’ overall performance.

4 Te timatanga
Ko wai o tatou kaihanga whakatau?
Even the most expertly-crafted vehicle safety program is unlikely to make much of an impact if your safety director is the only one interested in professing its virtues.
Your program (or any program, really) needs organizational buy-in before it can ever take shape.
Ko te tikanga ka hiahiatia enei e whai ake nei:

Kaua e wareware ki o taraiwa
Drivers know where the near misses happen. They know which policies are followed and which tend to be fudged a bit, or ignored outright. They’ll be the ones whose habits and behaviors are being asked to change.
If you’re planning on implementing new software, tools, or processes that directly affect how drivers do their jobs, one might find it prudent to ask them how they feel about that. Always allow drivers to review training plans, pilot tech, and give feedback on new policies. You’ll get better ideas and better adoption.
He aha o tatou kaupapa matua haumaru?
If you’re constructing a safety program that aims to monitor every behavior and eliminate every conceivable risk by adopting every feature seen in every vendor demo, we’re going to strongly recommend you think twice. It’s not feasible, scalable, and you’re going to meet resistance from your team.
Safety programs that aim to tackle everything at once risk overwhelming staff and confusing drivers who’d much rather just keep doing things how they’ve always been done. Rather than spreading a program too thin to do anything well, narrow the focus a bit.
Tirohia nga ngoikoretanga o to whakahaere
He rereke nga kaupapa morearea o ia wakafile; Ko nga kaikawe kawe taraka roa ka pa ki nga wero rereke atu i te mahi a te rohe e tuku ana i nga maero maroke i te maero whakamutunga, i tetahi umanga ratonga e aro ana ki te whakaoti i nga mahi mo te ra kotahi. Me mohio koe he aha nga wero motuhake e tika ana kia whakatikahia e to kaupapa, ko te tikanga kia tirohia enei e whai ake nei:
- Your own incident and claims data
- Near-misses and driver-reported hazards
- DOT inspection results and CSA scores
- Industry benchmarks (as a reference, not a template)
For any safety program to really move the needle, it has to account for risks that are a) frequent a b) preventable. Armed with data from the sources above, see which of these common safety concerns best fit that bill for your organization:
- Speeding and harsh acceleration
- Distracted driving (phones, in-cab screens, fatigue)
- Following distance and tailgating
- Improper securement or load balance
- Backing and low-speed maneuvering
- Hours-of-Service compliance and fatigue management
- Injury prevention on loading docks or warehouse yards
Ki te 80% o o aituā ka uru ki te tukinga tuara i roto i nga iari, kaua e whakapau i to wa katoa.asing harsh braking events. Focus on what’s hurting your people, your equipment, or your reputation the most. Picking 2–3 safety priorities help everyone stay aligned — and lets you prove quick wins that build momentum for bigger changes.
He aha o maatau kaupapa matua haumaru?
He aha ta matou mahere mo te whakangungu i nga kaimahi mo nga kaupapa here hou?
Ko te mea pea ka whanake to hotaka puta noa i nga tau tuatahitago tana whakatamarikitanga, he tino pai - ka tohe matou karekau he kaupapa haumaru e whai paanga pono me te kore e rapu urupare tika mai i nga kaitaraiwa, na kaua e werawera mena kei te beta tonu etahi o nga korero pai ake.
The important thing is to communicate any noticeable changes early on and give drivers and support staff a chance to be heard. Our recent safety survey revealed 84% of fleet managers believe their employees would openly embrace safety technology that works to protect them from harm — so long as they’re kept in the loop.
Don’t leave anyone wondering what procedures or tools are changing or (worse) questioning why these things need changing at all. Instead, make sure drivers and support staff understand the goals of your program and feel confident using any of the tools required.
He maamaa ake te oranga me nga kaimahi tautoko kei to taha
Ka kite koe kei te whakanui tonu matou i te mea nui ki a koe te hoko mai mai i nga taraiwa me nga kaimahi tautoko, he take pai.
Dispatchers and other frontline roles need to know how new tools work, what kind of alerts or reports they’ll be dealing with, and how their conversations with drivers can better support safety goals (rather than unknowingly undercutting them). If dispatch pressures a driver to ignore safety guidelines or forgo using a new reporting tool, it’s doubtful drivers are going to put much faith in any proposed changes to safety SOPs.
For this reason, it can be helpful to designate someone on your team as the go-to resource for any new technology or SOP you’re rolling out. It doesn’t have to be an IT specialist, and it definitely doesn’t need to be a whole committee — just someone who communicates well and sees the benefits of learning the system enough to help with questions.
He aha ta matou mahere mo te whakangungu i nga kaimahi mo nga kaupapa here hou?
Hoatu he waahi ki nga tangata ki te patai patai
Here’s a pro-tip for encouraging employee buy-in: when presenting an organization-wide vehicle safety program that will almost certainly impact the daily routines of most in attendance, allot for plenty of time for questions and āwangawanga.
Field those questions. Hear their concerns. Give everyone time to digest. Explain how you’ll be providing support. Make it clear this isn’t just a passing fad, it’s a priority that benefits everyone in the company, regardless of their role.
And when it comes to support, make sure any processes or technology you choose also provides onboarding support so you can hit the ground running. There are going to be questions you can’t answer, but look for products like Linxup that offer help in a way that works best for you and your team and have tautoko i runga i te US — helping you get resolution faster. Whether it’s chat, phone, or email, make sure you have access to ways to get technical help, even in off hours because odds are, problems are going to pop up when it’s most inconvenient for everyone.
Whakaratohia he whakangungu "piri"
He nui ake te tūponotanga ka whai wāhi te tangata ki tētahi kaupapa haumaru ina mārama rātou he aha e tika ai kia hurihia ngā SOP me ngā taputapu o nāianei.
He wa pai tenei mo etahi whakangungu "kore korero" me te ao o muaamples. Use your own incident footage when possible (with identifying details removed; public shaming isn’t generally a winning coaching strategy), and tailor example scenarios to challenges relevant to your fleet (city driving, mountain grades, tight docks and so on).
Strive to keep trainings hyperfocused on one safety component at a time — it’s easier to recall a focused 10-minute training than a broad-spectrum 60-minute marathon.
Ina tae mai ki te whakatuu, ki te revamping safety policies, use plain language (“No texting while driving” beats “Drivers shall abstain from mobile communica tions while operating a motor vehicle” every time) and be sure they’re easy to locate (printed copies in trucks, access via app).
He aha nga taputapu hei tautoko i te kaupapa?
Kaore he pakutage of safety tech out there; dash cams, sensors, alerts, apps, dashboards, AI-this and machine-learning-that. But the best tools aren’t necessarily the ones with the most features — they’re the ones your team will actually use.
Rather than wasting time and energy (and, you know, money) on tools and systems for which your team has zero need, let’s break down the main safety tech categories and how to find which one best suit your needs. Everybody needs good dash cams.
Nga taputapu haumaru noa (ma te waahanga)
You don’t necessarily need all of these right from the jump, but its worth knowing which categories align most closely with your program’s primary goal.
- Dash cams (dual-facing or road-facing): Help reconstruct events, coach behavior, and (this is a big one) protect against false claims. Our recent safety survey found 88% of fleet managers say dash cams helped reduce or defend against accident claims, yet only 72% of companies currently utilize dash cameras in work vehicles.
- Driver behavior monitoring systems: Track speeding, harsh braking, lane deviation, tailgating, and other unsafe driving habits (often through telematics or integrated platforms).
- Real-time alerts and coaching software: In-cab feedback to help correct issues in the moment (e.g., following too closely, not wearing a seatbelt). Consistent ongoing driver coaching also lets you use data to show real trends and behaviors that are problematic for safety and savings.
- Telematics & GPS fleet tracking: Useful for route review, identifying unsafe areas and measuring idling or time in high-risk zones.
- Mobile apps for drivers: Give drivers access to safety scores, videos, and feedback in real time.
- Learning Management Systems (LMS): Deliver and track training across your fleet (often in bite-sized formats).
He aha nga taputapu hei tautoko i te kaupapa?
Which gear most directly addresses your pressing needs?
Kia tere te tirotiro i o kaupapa matua haumaru. He pai nga waahi ka taea e koe te whakamahi i etahi whakapainga nui ka tukuna atu ki etahi taputapu haumaru:
- Backing collisions? Check out dual-facing cameras, proximity sensors, or training modules.
- Distracted driving? Could be a job for AI-powered dash cams with real-time alerts.
- Driver fatigue? Time to explore hours-of-service monitoring systems.
Let your priorities guide your tools, not the other way around. Otherwise, you’ll end up with gear that solves problems you don’t actually have (which…actually kind of creates new problems, if you think about it).
Kia maumahara he maha nga taputapu purongo e whai ana kia noho katoa ki roto i te kotahi.

Maybe the tool you’ve identified is a perfect fit on paper — but if the interface makes no sense, or if drivers are irritated by its alerts and feel a strong urge to fling it out of the cab at 65mph after less than a week of use, then it’s not a good fit, simple as that. Tech is only valuable to your safety program if it gets used.
I te wa e hokohoko ana, patai ki nga kaihoko e whai ake nei:
- Will this integrate with our current systems?
- Can you help us customize the reporting to align with our biggest problem areas?
- What’s your average client adoption rate after 90 days?
- What support do you provide for rollout and training?
- How do you handle false alerts or disputed events?
Me pehea e whakarite ai i to maatau otinga hangarau kia rite ki o maatau whaainga?
You’ve tested some cool new safety tech, and your drivers have reached a consensus on which tools they like best — excellent! It’s all installed and integrated and ready to go — great news! But really, you’re just getting started.
It turns out access to raw data doesn’t actually fix bad driving habits, at least not on its own. To get the most out of your safety initiatives (including both tools and your program’s SOPs), you’ve got to make sure your entire team knows what success on this front actually looks like.
Tautuhia o inenga tino nui
You zeroed in on your top safety priorities; now, pick 1 –2 key metrics for each to measure how your program is impacting those areas.
- If your priority is distracted driving, track alert frequency from in-cab cameras or phone usage violations.
- If your priority is following distance, track how often tailgating alerts are triggered.
- If your priority is backing collisions, monitor incident counts or near-miss reports in tight spaces.
You get the idea — whatever the priority may be, find a KPI that is both trackable and actionable.

I te nuinga o nga wa ka tino maramara enei atanga, engari ma te maarama o nga whaainga haumaru me te 1-2 KPI kua tohua i mua i te waa, ka ngawari ake te keri.
Whakamahia to papatohu ki te tautuhi me te whakatika i nga awangawanga matua
It’s one thing to say, “Driver X had six harsh braking events this week.” It’s another to ask why — was it traffic? Bad routing? Tailgating? Poor training? Until you understand the why, the number doesn’t help you improve anything. Our recommendation is to allow data to guide the following steps:
- Focus weekly reviews on just one or two common safety issues
- Look at broader trends on a month-to-month basis
- Discuss these trends as a team, both positive and negative
- Give driver managers clarity on where to focus their coaching
- Give drivers insight into how they can improve and how you plan to help them
Train each group on what the data means for their role. This makes the program feel like a team effort — not just something the safety department nags them about.
Ko te Linxup Coaching Dashboard lets you see what’s trending, where you should focus your training, and even set up reports to monitor progress over time based on your priorities. You can customize your view and track communication, so everyone is on the same page, all of the time.
He pai mena ka huri o awangawanga tuatahi mo te haumaru
Maybe you kick things off with a company-wide focus on backing incidents. Six months in, if that issue pales in comparison to some new hazard (like harsh cornering), that’s good! It means your program is working and ready to evolve.

Long-term success comes from helping every branch of your organization understand what your safety program is about, and how they might play a role in its execution. Cliche though it may sound, your org’s commitment to safety is only as strong as its weakest link:

Get serious about providing regular driver feedback
Don’t assume everyone knows how to take all the data fueling your new safety dashboard and turn it into productive conversations just because they’ve been promoted. Coaching is a skill just like any other, it takes training and practice to consistently deliver driver feedback in the right way (the way that motivates rather than demoralizes).
Start each day with a quick reminder of your primary safety focus, include a short KPI report in weekly scorecards or staff updates, and be sure to celebrate any relevant wins publicly (e.g., a full week without camera alerts, positive driver feedback, or even an incentive like gift cards). This goes a long way toward a) telling your team you’re serious about all this safety business and b) showing them you recognize the effort they’re putting in.

Whakatakotoria he mapi huarahi whakangungu me nga SOP ngawari
If everyone has to reinvent the wheel every time there’s an incident, it’s unlikely your desired safety changes will take hold for long. Building clear SOPs for the following will go a long way towards supporting drivers and driver managers:
- Handling a camera event or unsafe behavior report
- Scheduling follow-up training or coaching
- Documenting incidents and corrective actions
- Escalating repeated safety violations
These will keep expectations for your drivers clear and coaching from your support staff more consistent. Plus, continuous training, feedback, and recognition keeps everyone informed that this renewed focus on safety isn’t just some passing phase.
Creating scorecards (like with Linxup reports) highlighting milestones (like alert-free days or increased improvement percentages) help you re-inforce the purpose of a safety program and boost overall morale on why everyone’s cooperation is important.
Me pehea te whakamatautau i te ngawari o te whakamahi i to maatau kaupapa haumaru?
Ko tetahi ahuatanga o te kaupapa haumaru mahi e tika ana kia whakahuahia i tenei ao hou, ko te mea nui kia pai ki te pūkoro; poto, ki te kore e taea e koe te whakahaere i o taputapu haumaru mai i to waea, ka taka koe ki muri. Ma te papanga tika e tuku ki a koe:
- Review incidents and driver alerts in real time
- Coach drivers from anywhere (even between stops)
- Access video clips and GPS data on the fly
- View safety scores and trends (without needing a desktop login)
- Push training materials and updates out to drivers in seconds
Remember that all drivers come from an assortment of backgrounds. Some are tech-savvy; others might use their smartphone primarily as a coaster. With that in mind, your safety program and any of its associated tools, gadgets, or software should be reasonably intuitive (that means no manual required).
This goes for your managers and dispatchers too; the more intuitive your system is, the less training (and retraining) you’ll need. Before you buy any system, test it on your phone — or better yet, ask a less tech-confident team member to do the same. If they can’t figure it out fast, move on.
Āta karohia ngā pūnaha e here ana i a koe ki te tari
Legacy systems might have all the features in the world, but if they require local servers, desktop-only access, a VPN just to log in or (worse) a separate app for every feature, you’re adding complexity where you need simplicity.
Modern fleets don’t operate from cubicles. Your safety tools should be cloud-based, mobile-ready, and built for a team that’s on the move. Plus, as a nice bonus perk, drivers tend to be more likely to engage with safety programs and understand expectations when they can easily access their own safety scores and complete training right from their phones.
Me pehea te whakamatautau i te ngawari o te whakamahi i to maatau kaupapa haumaru?
How do we help drivers buy into a new program?
If drivers see your safety initiatives as little more than a surveillance system designed to micromanage or cut pay, those initiatives will fall flat pretty fast.
Let them give honest feedback and help shape the rollout. Explain how any new data will be used, and be upfront about what the tools do and why they’re needed.
Transparency is the key — there should be no surprises when your safety program finally goes “live.”
Whakaratohia te whakangungu whai hua There are right and wrong ways to give safety feedback. Public callouts, rushed conversations, and/or handing someone a printout with “coachable event” circled in red would be considered the wrong way.
Ko te huarahi tika ko te 1:1 kua whakaritea i nga wa katoa hei matapaki i nga wikitoria me nga waahi e tika ana kia whakapai ake. Kaua e tuhi noa i te 1:1 i nga wa katoa e hiahia ana te kaitaraiwa ki te korero ki tetahi kamupene, kei te tere te hono atu ki te "whakaako" ki te ngaungau. Engari, whakaarohia enei e whai ake nei:
- Shout out “incident-free” streaks or strong safety scores
- Share positive stories from the road (e.g., a driver who avoided a major collision thanks to textbook defensive driving)
- Offer incentives for safe driving: paid time off, gift cards, company swag, whatever you’ve got access to. Sure, this is getting a little close to outright bribery, but when it comes to safety if it works it works
Whakaritea te whakanui hei waahanga o to mahi, kaua ko te huihuinga tohu kotahi i te tau. Whakarongo mai He whakaaro, he awangawanga me te pouri nga kaitaraiwa, ina koa ka pakaru o raatau tikanga me o raatau mahinga. Hoatu he waahi ki a raatau ki te tuku korero, ahakoa ma nga rangahau kore ingoa, ma te korerorero auau me nga kaiarahi taraiwa me nga mahi haumaru.
If you want your safety program to take flight, here’s the key: act on what you hear.
Nothing erodes trust faster than asking for input only to ignore it. Keep your coaching respectful and show genuine receptiveness to drivers’ concerns, and pretty soon drivers will start seeing the mutual benefits of a working safety program.
Me pehea e awhina ai i nga taraiwa ki te hoko ki tetahi kaupapa hou?
What are the most common safety program pitfalls?
Te Waahanga #1: “Whakaturia ka warewaretia”
You rolled out new training, installed cameras, sent out policy updates… and then moved on to the next project. Programs that fizzle shortly after launch usually lack clear plans for ongoing coaching and follow-up, which inevitably leads to an apathetic approach to any desired changes.
Me pehea te whakatika: Build recurring safety check-ins into your regular operations, including weekly huddles, coaching sessions, and driver feedback reviews. Make it a habit, not a campaign
Pitfall #2: "Ka tukuna noa e ahau te hangarau ki tenei raru"
Technology helps, sure — but without the requisite buy-in from team members and a thorough exploration of the “why” discussed above, your safety program risks resembling a surveillance system for drivers to resent. Introducing a new
tool without a plan for training and adoption is also a really a good way to end up with a mess of dashboards serving very little purpose.
Me pehea te whakatika: Make sure your people are engaged from the start as you locate which tools are worth investing in, and do your best to consolidate your tech needs into as few logins as possible.
Pitfall #3: “I will only follow up on these safety changes some of the time”
One driver gets coached for speeding; another does the same but no one follows up. One fleet manager is strict, another doesn’t bother. This kind of inconsistency makes any program feel arbitrary.
Me pehea te whakatika: Use standard processes for flagging, coaching and documenting events. Train managers across fleets and locations to respond the same way. Safety programs should make enforcement of the rules fair and predictable.
Pitfall #4: “I’ll just assume everyone understands and is on board with this”
He maha nga wa ka mamae nga kaupapa haumaru i nga karere whakauru, i te kore korero katoa ranei. Karekau nga kaitaraiwa e korerohia he aha te take i puta ai he kaupapa here hou, kaore nga kaimahi tautoko i te mohio ki te mahi o nga taputapu, ka rongo noa nga kaiarahi mo te haumaru ina raru tetahi mea — he tohu katoa enei mo te pakaru o te whakawhitiwhiti korero, ka mate pea ki tetahi kaupapa e tumanako ana koe ki te whakarewa.
Me pehea te whakatika: Communicate constantly, in plain language and through multiple channels — including meetings, text alerts, emails and app updates when applicable. Make it clear that everyone is in the loop.
Te Rawe #5: Te wareware i te tirohanga a te taraiwa
Ko te whakatinanatanga o ngā taputapu, ngā kaupapa here rānei, me te kore e whakauru mai i ngā taraiwa, tata tonu ka arahi ki te whakahē. Ko rātou te hunga e taraiwa ana — ki te kore rātou e whakaponohia, ka mutu tō kaupapa.
Me pehea te whakatika: Involve drivers in demos, training design and policy development. Let them help shape the program and reward their input.
Te poka #6: Te ine i nga mea he
This bears repeating: if your program is built around collecting data no one understands or uses, it won’t help anyone (in fact, access to data you don’t use can even hurt you in some cases). Make sure whichever measurement tools you use (including in-the-cab hardware, software systems and your dashboard) align with your primary safety objectives.
Me pehea te whakatika: Limit your tracked KPIs to those few that matter most. Share them with the team. Track progress on your dashboard and filter out all the other noise. Adjust as needed.
Te Waahanga #7: Te whakataurite i te whakangungu me nga kupu whakatupehupehu
Survey data reveals 73% of fleet managers believe drivers overestimate their own safety performance. That leaves a lot of room for improvement via smart coaching, which drivers should (theoretically) look forward to since it helps them level up their
skillset and improves their odds of returning home from every trip safely. However, if “coaching” leads drivers to dread training or 1:1s, they’ll stop engaging.
Me pehea te whakatika: Coach consistently, respectfully and privately. Be quick to recognize and commend improvement. Focus on problem-solving, not blame.
Kia mahara ko te haumaru he keemu roa. Ko te angitu, te rahunga ranei, karekau e whakawhirinaki ki te karo i nga hapa katoa. Ko te mahi a te kaupapa haumaru waka he hurahia nga waahi matapo e tino whai kiko ana, katahi ka whai huarahi hei whakatika me te anga whakamua tonu.
How should the program’s success be determined?
Your program doesn’t need to check every box on day one. In fact, you can still expect some early hiccups in adopting and integrating these changes into your org’s day-to-day, but with a solid plan in place you should see reductions in speeding, harsh events, preventable incidents or other areas you’ve chosen to emphasize within 30–90 days.
Perhaps the clearest proof of program success is whether those positive trends endure. You’ve achieved success if, say one year from now, these changes are no longer considered part of a “safety initiative” — they’re just a reflection of how your team handles its business.
