Shocks away

When soft drinks manufacturer, GSK found rough terrain at its manufacturing plant had the potential to cause injuries to personnel, the company turned to Davis Derby to help improve the situation.

After analysing traffic movements and the client's shock incident record, Davis Derby supplied and fitted its Fleet Management Information System (FMIS), including the shock indication module, to seven of the trucks and a diesel pump. Drivers were issued with SMART cards, which allow access to and record logged-on and operational time on the vehicles.

In addition to improved health and safety significant reductions in shock levels are also being recorded, as potholes and other hazards are being identified through daily shock reports.
