PROGRAM TOPICS DAY 2 BREAKOUT SESSION PROGRAM TOPICS DAY 2 DAY 1 BREAKOUT SESSION ANCAP: Influencing vehicle safety Using Technology to Drive a Safety First Culture SPEAKER Christopher L’Ecluse, Solutions Specialist, Teletrac Navman SPEAKER James Goodwin, ANCAP Chief Executive In 2018, ANCAP’s independent vehicle safety requirements broadened significantly – introducing new and updated tests and adopting common test and assessment protocols applicable to the Australasian and European new vehicle markets. Safety requirements will again be expanded in 2020 to encourage further safety improvements for the benefit of Australian fleets and general consumers. A wide range of fleets have adopted vehicle purchase and use policies in recent years, requiring 5 star ANCAP safety rated vehicles. ANCAP also recommends fleets consider vehicles with an ANCAP date stamp of no more than The New Nissan LEAF ® three (3) years to ensure safety currency and the dynamic inclusion of safety assist technologies. In this session we’ll hear about the new requirements from 2020 and explore how organisations can incorporate a vehicle purchase and use policy which takes into account the latest safety advancements. SIMPLY AMAZING The workplace extends far beyond the four walls of the office. The vehicles that make up an organisation’s fleet are often fraught with the most danger, with statistics showing that over two thirds of all workplace fatalities occur in or around a vehicle. This presentation will share an interesting case study about New Zealand Racing Board’s journey with Fleet management, Work Health & Safety and Telematics. In late 2015 the New Zealand Racing Board’s (NZRB) Health and Safety Committee made a recommendation to consider implementing vehicle GPS for assisting in improving safe driving behaviours for its fleet of 126 plus vehicles and 800 plus employees. High accident and damage rates and increasing vehicle infringements were seen as an indicator of poor driving behaviours, while a 360 bowtie analysis confirmed this risk as the highest priority for the NZRB. Since 2016 the NZRB has undertaken a journey of engagement with its workers in implementing the use of GPS, driver education & training, improvements in vehicle selection, combined with a balance of positive driving behaviour re-enforcement and an approach of accountability where due which has led to significant improvements in all areas of fleet safety for its workers. Hear how this journey was undertaken by NZRB, considerations they had to take into account, and the results they have achieved to date with their workers and driver behaviour including the financial benefits that have resulted.
