Welcome to the October 2022 issue of FleetDrive ! In this edition , we are talking about one of the most important aspects of using vehicles as a workplace — safety .
Implementing a safety-first mindset is crucial for fleets regardless of size . For fleet managers and operators , this means developing and implementing an effective safety program that can aid in maintaining Safety on All Sides of the Wheel .
As always , are trusted suppliers and corporate are ready to lend a helping hand so we can take the guesswork out of fleet safety . Within these pages , we will get some special insight into the latest products , devices , technology , or services that can help increase fleet safety , reduce collisions , promote accountability , and reduce operational expenditures and potential liabilities .

Furthermore , we have interesting pieces about the Safety Strategies Every Fleet Operator Must know by our very own Nelly Matikainen and IoT and Fleet Safety by Anby Alcomendas .
As you know , AfMA continues to develop and provide interactive online Driver Safety Courses to help promote a safe mobile workplace for all . These courses are there to inform drivers on new safety features found in vehicles today and explain the purpose and process behind ANCAP safety ratings .
We also have short thirty-second Vehicle Safety Feature Animations designed to help drivers understand how these vehicle safety features are designed to work . The animations are free for members to download and use to develop ongoing safety education for drivers .
