cut collisions by 7% in 2008, compared with the previous 12-month period.
Mike Stockton, senior asset control manager at Royal Mail vehicle services, told delegates at the conference that the organisation saw "three main areas of risk: the journey, the driver and the vehicle". Royal Mail carries out about 20,000 online risk assessments and 33,000 training exercises, conducts collision analysis, and provides telemetry feedback to identify high-risk individuals and risky behaviour.
Stockton said "The information we have enables us to make interventions.
"We still have a long way logo, but we are heading in the right direction and we will not be satisfied until we get the level down to zero."
Delegates then saw a shocking series of photos showing the wreckage of trucks operated by Royal Mail, where the driver had been fatally injured.
"It's not about numbers on a spreadsheet for a firm, it is family members who are affected by any tragedy," Stockton added.
