    The DriveCam difference

    Murphy-Hoffman Company operates a 665-vehicle fleet. Tackling safety was a big task, and the company wanted to integrate a safety culture across all employees for personal and professional improvement.
     
    Implementing the Lytx® Driver Safety Programme was one of the biggest steps, because it allowed the company to manage safety proactively, rather than only after collisions happened.
     
    Using video for coaching was a way to both address risky behaviours and recognise model behaviour. In fact, the company began awarding top-performing employees on a regular basis.
     
    Throughout the implementation of the programme, Murphy-Hoffman stressed it was about safety, not about policies and procedures. In the end, employees became better drivers in their personal lives as well.

    Problem

    • The need for a culture of safety for 3,500 employees and a 700-vehicle fleet
    • Historically reactive management of collisions and injuries after the fact, versus a proactive approach

    Results

    • Identified unsafe behavior before collisions and injuries happened
    • Reduced collisions by 79% and injuries from preventable collisions to zero within the first year
    • Improved driver seat belt usage by 58%
    • Reduced traffic violations by 49% (without posted speed)
    • Experienced employees going above and beyond their baseline training to be safer drivers
    • Positive driver and employee engagement

    Solution

    • Implemented the Lytx® Driver Safety Programme
    • Utilized program data to coach risky driving and reward model behaviour
    • Focused on making drivers safer rather than just policy adherence
    • Rolled out positive recognition programme to build a shared vision and help with driver retention
