Conduct monthly safety meetings and provide training on safety-related topics.
Monitor driver performance using telematics, road evaluations, and other tools.
Develop and implement hazard control programs and evaluate their effectiveness.
Analyze safety data and trends to create action plans and performance improvement strategies.
Support operational safety leadership through BeSafe initiatives and coaching.
Manage safety-related budgets and recommend cost-saving measures.
