Long-haul drivers are lone workers, meaning they require special monitoring to stay safe. With work alone in place, accidents can be detected quickly and emergency aid dispatched. If a driver doesn’t show up to their destination, they have someone looking out for them and a plan in place to escalate the situation as needed. Plus, lone worker monitoring systems are required by law.
With professional and comprehensive journey management and lone worker monitoring procedures from CommAlert, you can protect drivers as they travel for work.
Journey Management
What is journey management?
Journey management monitoring procedures help keep your long-haul drivers safe as they travel from point A to point B during their work day. Furthermore, it’s required by law in many parts of Canada. Accidents can happen at any time, so your company should implement journey management even for short and simple trips.
CommAlert’s journey management services use regular check-ins to monitor the safety of your drivers. First, your employee contacts us before beginning their journey to let us know where they’re going and when they expect to arrive. We give them a time window to check in and send check-in reminders. For longer trips, it can be a good idea for them to check in en route.
We offer a journey management app, although we prefer to call them personally as this builds a trusting relationship.
How does journey management keep drivers safe?
If something goes wrong on a trip, especially in a remote area, it can be a long time before it’s detected. As a result, help can be catastrophically delayed. Journey management monitoring helps prevent these dire situations. Accidents are identified sooner so emergency services can be notified.
When drivers miss a check-in and cannot be reached, we contact every person on our list until the worker is tracked down and connected with.
Lone Worker Monitoring
Every organization with lone workers needs a lone worker monitoring system to protect their employees. It’s also required by law. Since long-haul drivers work alone, you need a system that keeps them safe. CommAlert’s lone worker safety services do just that.
CommAlert has 24/7 live operators to ensure that employees stay safe while working alone. Your drivers check in with us at the start, during, and at the end of their shift. They’re sent periodic reminders so they don’t forget. These check-ins can be done via phone call, text, or a lone worker smartphone app. Furthermore, we customize the check-in schedule to accommodate their driving schedule so they’re never tempted to use their smartphone while driving.
Asset Tracking
As we monitor the safety of your long-haul drivers, we can also monitor your assets as they travel. Asset tracking tracks physical assets, like products, supplies, merchandise, or even the transportation vehicle itself. We supply real-time reports on the position of each asset, helping you quickly and easily locate specific items. This helps increase efficiency and organization while reducing theft, loss, and other administrative costs.
