If none of the drivers in your fleet regard safety as second nature, you may want to consider the safety culture of the business. A safe workplace is built on a solid safety culture, which sets the example everyone aspires to.
It involves more than just putting safety regulations into place; it also entails cultivating the mindsets that propel the company ahead. Bay and Bay is a leading logistics company. They focus on drivers’ safety to protect them from unpleasant events.
Why Does Bay and Bay Focus on Driver Safety?
Following are some reasons why trucking companies focus on the safety of their drivers.
Attract Drivers
Today’s drivers are pickier about the jobs they choose. While some breaches are ultimately the driver’s responsibility, others depend on the organization, and many drivers are refusing to work for firms that don’t prioritize safety. Driver’s want to work for a company that cares about their safety and at Bay & Bay they do.
Safety Lowers Prices
Safety measures lower prices by reducing the potential costs from accidents, injuries, or equipment failure. Increased security can reduce the cost of hiring drivers and fines for violations. The average price of a commercial truck accident is about $59,150, according to a study done by the USDOT (U.S. Department of Transportation), NHTSA(National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), and the NCSA (National Center for Statistics and Analysis). Bay & Bay invests in extensive testing, quality control, and compliance mechanisms to ensure their products meet every required safety regulations to keep driver safe.
Safety Goes Beyond the Driver
While many people hold the driver of a car ultimately accountable for its safe operation, safety is considerably more complex than just who is in the driver’s seat. The equipment each driver utilizes is vital to a vehicle’s overall security.
Active safety technologies have recently made breakthroughs to lessen or avoid traffic accidents. Technologies, including lane departure warning systems, collision mitigation, electronic stability control, and automatic braking, are included in active safety systems. As a result, private fleets must have a safety culture throughout the organization.
Employee Retention
The corporate world has many facets, but creating a safe workplace is essential. This objective covers everything, from concepts and regulations to reliable, safe transportation. Trucks, safety procedures, and rules alone are insufficient. Employees may become upset and question why they perform activities if the environment is safe but fail to comprehend or value the logic behind safe behaviors.
Think of a trucker who dislikes her daily inspection. Although the evaluation has all the appropriate boxes ticked, she might consider it a waste of time and refuse to evaluate the truck thoroughly. She is more likely to take her inspection seriously and appreciate her autonomous, active role if she knows how it protects her and other drivers.

Bay and Bay also ensures that all of its truck drivers follow all traffic laws and the law of the road to protect all drivers.
