Hazard – Motor Vehicle Crashes
Type of Innovation – Procedure (Driver Selection - SambaSafety)
Hazard Control Type – Administrative Control
Impacted Trades – All employees that drive on Company Business. All employees that arrive at the job via
company vehicle or personal vehicles.
Activity Name
All construction activities that require use of company fleet.
Task
All construction tasks that require use of company fleet.
Problem
The National Safety Council (NSC) estimates 38,300 people were killed and 4.4 million injured on U.S. roads in
2015, which saw the largest one-year percentage increase in half a century. Motor vehicle accidents are the
leading cause of both occupational and non-occupational accident death. According to Association for Safe
International Travel (ASIRT), road crashes cost the U.S. $230.6 billion per year, or an average of $820 per
person. Auto accidents involving a rear-end type loss is the largest auto loss trend for construction trades. Causes
of motor vehicle accidents impacting construction trades include:
o Not managing who is in a Vehicle – Driver Selection
o Not managing the driver behaviors when they are on the road.
o Driver distractions – cell phone use.
Solution
Being selective in the employees who drive for contractors is critical to managing commercial auto fleet risks and
reducing contractor and worker exposure to loss. SambaSafety has an innovative driver risk management
platform, which continuously monitors drivers to deliver a comprehensive view of driver behavior and
performance. The SambaSafety solution is unique as it delivers actionable alerts that improve driver performance
and reduce accidents – ultimately improving driver and community safety. It manages all driver data and
automatically checks for new violations, DUI/DWI convictions, invalid licenses, and approaching license or
medical certification expiration dates. The Samba DriverProfile® aggregates all information for a comprehensive
view of individual driver performance. Each month concise reports identify new violations and alerts management
to the most critical driver behavior issues. In addition, utilizing a common coding system for violations, license
status, and crashes that goes beyond standard MVRs, the Samba DriverScore® provides a single standardized
“score” to assess individual driver performance independent of each state’s point system.
Benefits
According to CNA data, many employers who employ drivers with serious moving violations often perform, on
average, more than 20 percent worse in loss ratio results than companies whose employees have clean driving
records. SambaSafety helps organizations improve driver safety by providing continuous visibility into driver
behavior. By combining industry leading driver risk management software with Fair Credit Reporting Act
(FCRA) compliant driver data, SambaSafety provides:
o Easy identification of “at-risk” and “unsafe” drivers.
o Immediate access to different motor vehicle record (MVR) types, where available.
o Performance alerts and reporting for individual drivers and groups.
o Enforcement of driver policies.
o Control of insurance and motor vehicle record expenses.

International Travel (ASIRT), road crashes cost the U.S. $230.6 billion per year, or an average of $820 per

accidents, include:
o Not managing who is in a Vehicle – Driver Selection
o Not managing the driver behaviors when they are on the road.
o Driver distractions – cell phone use.
Solution
Fleet telematics is a way of monitoring the location, movement, status, and behavior of a vehicle within a fleet.
This monitoring is achieved through a combination of a GPS receiver and an electronic Global System for Mobile
Communications (GSM) device that is installed in each vehicle, which then communicates with the user and webbased software. In addition to location data, fleet telematics solutions provide a list of vehicles showing the status
of each. A company can know when a vehicle starts and shuts down, plus its idling status, location, and speed.
This information provides complete, up-to-the-minute knowledge of fleet activities in one centralized, web-based
interface.
Driver’s Alert advanced telematics technology cost-effectively puts a “supervisor” in every vehicle to monitor
location, fuel consumption, engine health, speed, acceleration, harsh braking, and much more. In addition,
Driver’s Alert provides a customizable online portal, and a points-based setup allows for communicating what is
most important, how often to report it, and what action to take. Driver’s Alert claims that no solution is more
efficient or effective in helping convert data into a safer, more profitable fleet.
Benefits
Safety-based vehicle telematics stats:
o 45% fewer vehicle accidents
o 75% reduction in speeding events
o 90% improvement in seat belt usage
o 80% reduction in aggressive driving (e.g., hard cornering)
Operations-based vehicle telematics stats:
page 171
o 25% fuel savings
o 30% drop in idle time
o 10% fewer miles driven
o 14% lowering of maintenance costs
o 15% spike in productivity
o 20% increase in vehicle utilization

Activity Name

Problem
Distracted driving from the use of cell phones and tablets while driving poses significant risk to every business
that has employees who drive for company business or who have a company issued cell phone. According to the
National Safety Council, 26% of all vehicle crashes involve mobile phone use – including hands-free. A
University of Utah study identified reasons why cell phone users are more likely to get into an accident than noncell phone drivers:
o They are 9% slower to apply the brakes.
o They have 24% more variations in following distance.
o They are 19% slower to resume normal speed after braking
Similar to driving while intoxicated, using a cell phone while driving unnecessarily puts the driver and others at
risk of injury - or even death. Because text messaging requires visual, manual, and cognitive attention from the
driver, it is one of the most risky distractions that can lead to an accident. A Virginia Tech Transportation Institute
(VTTI) study revealed that drivers who text while driving are 23 times more likely to be involved in an accident.
And, according to the National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS), at any time in the day, approximately
660,000 drivers are using cell phones or other electronic devices.
Solution
Cell blocking technology is software for smartphones and tablets that detects the driving state and automatically
puts the device in safe mode while driving. In safe mode, a curtain screen blocks access to the keyboard and
screen and all notifications and alerts are suppressed – including incoming calls, texts and emails. Emergency
calls (i.e., 911) are always allowed. When the vehicle is no longer in motion, all calls, messages and texts will be
delivered.
Cogosense offers bSafeMobile to help reduce the number of vehicle accidents by eliminating a leading cause of
crashes; driver distraction from the use of smart phones while driving. bSafeMobile for smartphones and tablets
detects the driving state and automatically puts the device in safe mode while driving. In safe mode, a curtain
screen blocks access to the keyboard and screen. All notifications and alerts are suppressed – including incoming
calls, texts and emails. bSafeMobile works together with a Bluetooth connector in the vehicle to determine the
driving state, protecting any device with the client and registering with the Bluetooth connector in the vehicle.
Each unit is capable of monitoring up to five drivers.
Benefits
o Eliminates driver distractions.
o Reduces vehicle incidents
