Being prepared will help you seamlessly transition to ELDs. You have plenty of time to get ahead of these new regulations, choose a solution, and train your team to implement ELDs successfully. If you choose a solution that is already certified, you can minimize the time and effort ensuring compliance with the new regulation.
As Safety professionals, it is our duty to protect employees and keep their well-being at the top of our priority list. Fighting on their behalf means we need to speak the language of the board room and demonstrate that what is in the best interest of our employees, is in the best interest of the bottom line.
As you can see, developing a lone worker strategy for a utility is anything but predictable, and it touches all aspects of the organization. It covers employees working alone or with the public, teams working in isolation, employees who travel, it is intertwined with your safe driving policy, and so much more.

Whenever employees are engaged in developing safety procedures, there are other inherent benefits that typically result in their greater safety awareness and more consistent compliance. That's good news for everyone!
