Fleet Safety Management

What is the Fleet Safety Management?

The Fleet Safety Management course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides comprehensive training for fleet managers, safety managers, operations directors, and transportation supervisors who are responsible for the safety of vehicle fleets, drivers, and the public that shares the road with their vehicles. Motor vehicle incidents are the leading cause of workplace fatalities in the United States, killing more workers every year than falls, electrocution, struck-by, and caught-in incidents combined. Fleet Safety Management is therefore not a niche topic — it is the single most important safety programme for any organisation that operates vehicles, from construction companies with pickup trucks to logistics companies with hundreds of Class 8 tractor-trailers.

This course covers the complete fleet safety management discipline: US Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulatory compliance, driver qualification and selection, driver training and competency verification, vehicle inspection and preventive maintenance programmes (DVIR, PM schedules), Hours of Service (HOS) compliance and electronic logging device (ELD) management, fleet accident investigation and root cause analysis, distracted driving prevention, fatigue management, impaired driving policies, telematics and fleet monitoring technology, hazardous materials transportation awareness, and the fleet safety performance metrics (crash rate, CSA scores, vehicle out-of-service rates) that measure programme effectiveness.

The course is designed for any organisation that operates motor vehicles in the course of business — not just trucking companies. Construction firms, utility companies, oil and gas operators, municipalities, delivery services, sales organisations, and any employer whose workers drive as part of their job face fleet safety risk and regulatory obligations. The fleet safety programme governs who is authorised to drive (driver qualification), what condition the vehicles must be in (inspection and maintenance), how long drivers may operate (HOS), how driving behaviour is monitored (telematics), what happens when incidents occur (investigation), and how performance is measured and improved (metrics and continuous improvement).

All training is delivered 100 percent online through Microsoft Teams and the American Institute of Safety Professionals Learning Management System (LMS). Upon successful completion, graduates receive an American Institute of Safety Professionals certificate, professional wallet card, and official transcript, all employer-verifiable at amiosp.com/student-verifications.
