The Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS) has published the NETS' Comprehensive Guide to Road Safety. The guide is available free of charge from the NETS website. The group says the publication was developed by members of its board of directors, who drew from their companies' best practices for road safety. According to NETS, the guide has global applicability for employers that operate both large and small fleets and that have new, developing or advanced road safety programs. It covers key performance indicators, organizational requirements, business case development, continuous improvement, programs and policies."The guide provides an excellent starting point for companies and organizations of all sizes with all types of fleets wanting to put in place a road safety program for their operations," says Mike Watson, global road safety manager for Shell International Petroleum Co. He says the publication "also serves as a tool for fleet safety managers to compare their existing programs to those of leading employers in road safety."
"NETS is a member of the UN Road Safety Collaboration and is dedicated to improving road safety around the world," says NETS' Jack Hanley. "We believe publication of the guide is an important contribution to the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 and NETS is pleased to provide employers with this tool to start or improve their fleet safety programs."
