Comparison of Experience-Based and Evidence-Based Safety Risk Management Features for Heavy Vehicle Transport Operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Independent research into safety management features that distinguish between lower insurance claimers and higher insurance claimers identified 14 characteristics that show clear evidence of efficacy in safety management in trucking operations. Findings of this research were compared against risk management factors included in the risk assessment process adopted by a major truck insurer. When these were compared with the Zurich Risk Engineering (ZRE) grading criteria substantial consistency was found. There were some inconsistencies as well.
