Fleet Safety Programs for Portable Sanitation Operations
Part 1: Elements of a Fleet Safety
Program
By Karleen Kos, PSAI Executive Director
Fleet vehicle accidents are among the
costliest injury claims for business. The most
recent data available suggests that these
claims are typically almost twice the cost of
the average workplace injury.
1
About two in five motor vehicle accidents involve work-related driving.
According to Automotive Fleet, the annual accident rate for commercial fleets is now 20%.
2
More than half of
vehicle accidents (53%) cause employees to miss work, further increasing the costs to you as an employer.

Association Insight t o P ub l is h
Bi - W eekl y i n 202 0
The PSAI's signature newsletter, Association Insight, will shift from a
weekly to bi-weekly publishing schedule beginning January 2020. The PSAI
Board of Directors voted to make this change at its November 2019
meeting in Houston.
Association Insight feedback has been highly positive, and Members rank
it as one of our most valuable member benefits. At the same time,
however, Members have suggested that a weekly newsletter makes it hard
to read all that's in each issue. Several have suggested that bi-weekly or
monthly issues would be better.
