Motive's Safety Policy Considerations for your company

When implementing Motive’s safety features for your business, you should initially establish a safety policy for your company that is reviewed annually.  Safety policy development should align with a company's current structure and address the following areas at a minimum: 

● Video Event Access 

  • Who in the organization controls access to events? 
    • Administrative Control 
      • Identify someone in the organization who will be responsible for giving and restricting access to the controls of the program.
    • Live function (if activated)
      • Limit individuals will be granted access to the streaming function, keeping in mind this might be a sensitive topic for the drivers.
    • Hierarchy and Coaching Access
      • Should all coaches have access to the entire driver fleet or only those within their terminal / managed control?
    • Downloading Privileges
      • Identify who has access to this capability for liability protection within the organization

● Claims Handling 

  • Anticipation of Legal Challenge (Consult your legal counsel) 
    • Preservation of Records
      • What process will be enacted when protecting critical event data at the time of an incident?

● Record Retention

  • Review existing policies to align technology implementation 
    • Retention thresholds should be considered in regard to event captures, coaching notes and data points should be addressed

● Progressive Discipline 

  • Should a “ramp period” of no discipline be considered for technology implementation? 
  • Are tolerance levels given to certain behaviors? 
  • Does your current process include a disciplinary matrix or scoring thresholds that should be integrated? 
  • What, if any, coaching allowances should be given before progressive discipline is applied? 
  • Should new safety clearance considerations (terminating circumstances) be set for certain technology behaviors?
