Argus Tracking Tracks Driver Behaviour

The new Health and Safety at Work Act requires a business/director/fleet manager to do everything in their power to protect their people and business and, since  driving remains the most hazardous activity New Zealanders undertake during their working day, it is vital that businesses adapt processes to minimise the possibility of driving related incidents and monitor driver performance and improvements.

Being able to monitor driving standards and vehicle safety and compliance is now a crucial part of running a fleet, and Argus Tracking is there to make every fleet manager’s life that much easier.

Short of putting a driver trainer next to your employee to monitor driver behaviour once they have left the premises, GPS is the most effective tool for keeping in touch
with people and vehicles while they are on the road. There is no other simple and cost effective way of measuring and managing daily performance and safety.

GPS tracking is the most effective way to minimise your exposure to risk under this new legislation, and being able to monitor driving standards and vehicle safety and compliance is vital. Argus Tracking keeps an eye on everything in real time, wherever you and your people are.

Argus Tracking’s Driver Behaviour Dashboard and scorecard applies “Virtual” demerit points to each of your drivers for any negative driver behavior, with additional virtual demerits being applied when these actions are in school zones, on the open road, at night or in inclement weather conditions when these actions are at their riskiest. With this data, they benchmark your employees against the 46,000 other drivers they monitor on a daily basis so you know how your drivers stack up nationally, who needs some improvement and who is a liability to your organisation.

Failure to reach your obligations under the new Health and Safety at Work Act can result in prosecution by WorkSafe, and there are now significantly increased penalties which cannot be insured against, including a criminal record, so to find out more about Argus Tracking fleet management software, please go to http://www.argustracking.co.nz.
