Road transportation is vital to any transportation company. Transportation via road networks is risky in terms of interruptions due to road accidents and incidents. This is attributable to the nature of road transportation's pool of risks which fall within the following 3 clusters:
- Roads & Environment;
- Vehicles;
- Road users particularly drivers.
Therefore, the road transport system is complex, as each cluster is prone to certain failures for example, deteriorated driving performance, compromised vehicle performance and unpredictable road conditions. Today, road crashes are climbing to the worrying position of becoming the world's No. 1 killer and leaving the millions of survivors incapacitated. In 2013 alone, commuting accidents accounted for 44% of the total reported industrial accidents in Malaysia. According to PDRM report, 6706 fatalities were recorded in 2015. The following statistics are a testimony to the seriousness of road crashes in this country:
- There are more than 400,000 reported crashes on Malaysian roads annually;
- Road fatalities numbers are approaching 7,000 per year and are still increasing;
- 60% of all road deaths are motorcyclists with the next highest being car drivers at 21%
- Economic losses from road crashes exceed RM 9 billion each year;
- Such crashes account for 45% of those seeking medical treatment
- Road crashes are the cause of death for 75% of people below the age of 40.
Aggressive driving has been the main cause for 18% - 32% of crashes over the last 6 years.
Drivers’ competency training and consultancy
For years, many countries had adopted a basic test of driving competency where the required pass standards for competency tended to focus on safety techniques for managing vehicle control and making safe and controlled progress. Once drivers passed the initial competency test, they never needed to prove their driving ability again. Yet, research has found that almost half of experienced drivers would not pass a basic safety road test if they had to retake it today.
Many companies do not see the importance of driver training as the majority see training as a cost rather than an investment. For us, it is an investment that helps a company save costs in the long run as it increases productivity and efficiency by reducing accident rates and insurance claims.
