Case Study
Murphy-Hoffman Company sees 79% reduction in roadway collisions with Lytx
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.
