The City of Minneapolis recently launched initiatives seeking to understand causal factors of accidents in the Public Works Fleet while ensuring employees fair treatment during the investigative process.Public Works vehicle accidents are now investigated by specially trained Accident Reduction Subject Matter Experts (ARSMEs). ARSMEs respond to the accident site, complete the state accident form, take photographs, assist field personnel with DOT questions and, if necessary, escort the employee to a third party site for drug / alcohol screening.At the same time, Public Works administration collaborated with the unions to improve the progressive discipline policy for drivers involved in preventable accidents. Both programs have been successful. You will learn how the process improvement measures and collaboration was used to achieve measureable steps forward in accident reduction, cost savings and employee safety. 

Learning Objectives: 

– Apply principles of continuous improvement and collaboration. 

– Improve safety. 

– Increase employee engagement.
