01 Tipping point: Setting the stage for smarter waste management
To help lower collision risk, or help you find the truth if a safety incident does occur, telematics can be an invaluable and impartial witness to the scene. Through capabilities like video telematics integrations, collision detection and reconstruction, you can retain both video and fleet analytics that help protect your organization and your drivers in more ways than one. Shield your drivers against fraudulent claims with a wealth of unbiased collision data. If the data reveals your driver was at fault during a collision, you can institute new, data-driven policies to help prevent such incidents from happening again. Whether through a nuclear verdict, damage to your company's reputation or costly vehicle repairs, collisions can pose multiple threats to your organization’s finances. That’s why it’s so important to have a platform that helps you limit liability and risk during each mile your garbage trucks drive. In the following subchapters, we’ll discuss how different features of a telematics solution can enable you to drive down risk and better protect your company.

Limiting financial risk by identifying drivers with the highest liability potential To start mitigating risk in your waste and sanitation operations, a strong starting point is to see which of your drivers are engaging in the riskiest behaviors behind the wheel. Telematics can help you study insights on harsh braking, hard acceleration, speeding and fast cornering at the individual driver level, so you’re able to see which of your drivers are triggering the most exceptions. Additionally, safety benchmarking capabilities can help you compare your drivers’ safety metrics against those from like fleets for a more accurate understanding of how your risk profile compares. For example, Geotab’s Safety Benchmarking capability allows you to measure based on similar vehicle types, usage rates, purposes and weights, as well as environmental conditions, so you’re provided with a truly analogous comparison.
