Richard Dunn, Distinctive Options
Distinctive Options is a not for profit community based service for adults
with a range of disabilities. We operate a fleet of 12 seater buses and
regular sedans which are used to transport clients from a range of activities
and appointments. The Board of Management recently agreed to fund a Driver
Training Program for all staff given the high risk nature of driving at
the best of times and the value of the vehicles involved to the service
and to the clients who rely on them.
Some 40 staff attended a Murcotts Level 1 Program and the day’s activities
were tailored to our specific requirements and involved workshop/group discussions
as well as practical driving exercises. The company has since committed
to have all staff attend refresher courses of this nature every couple of
years as its benefits were obvious to all attended.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Murcotts and the type of training
to any service which is committed to promoting Occupational Health & Safety
and ensuring their staff are as safe as possible not only at work but away
from work as well. A great day!
Orica Australia
"600 crashes a year costing an average of $2,500 a time", said a fleet
executive with the giant Orica chemicals and explosives group.
"We have got that down to 380 crashes costing an average of $1,100."
That's a reduction from $1.5 million to just over $400,000 a year.
Robert Morgan MD, Aerospace
Materials
"Our fleet of 30 vehicles
was averaging two major accidents a year and two
or three minor ones. Insurance rates were skyrocketing.
"Over the next five years (after the course) the fleet did not have one
serious accident and the rate of minor accidents reduced to less than one per
year average.
"Our insurance premiums ... dropped substantially recovering the cost
of the training in the first full year. The real saving was the lack of business
disruption and anguish caused by the accidents."
Rob Cook, Brotherhood of St
Laurence
"This has been the most cost-effective road safety program we've seen",
says Rob Cook of the Brotherhood of St Laurence. The Brotherhood used Jim Murcott's
Advanced Driving Centre and says it was surprised by the drop in its fleet
costs. 'At fault' damage incidents have reduced from an average of 14.5 to
4.0 and total vehicle insurance was reduced from an average of $40,446 to $30,225.
