On Thursday, May 18, 2023, attendees gathered at the Mission Valley Library for the Fleet Safety: Above and Beyond Compliance workshop, presented by Jose Pineda from Travelers Insurance.
Clients enjoyed a complimentary lunch while Pineda highlighted important vehicle safety strategies and ways organizations can control their risk for fleet-related accidents.
The presentation proved to be both educational and entertaining with lighthearted anecdotes and audience participation. In order to emphasize the dangers of driver multitasking on the road, Pineda picked audience members to attempt spelling their ABC’s while simultaneously counting to 26.
“I’m just trying to prove to you… multitasking cannot happen. Can you go from one task to the other very quickly? Absolutely, but can you do them both? So, someone that tells me that they can be behind the wheel and…look at that phone, answer emails or just use that time as office time, it's not possible and you're going to end up hurting yourself or someone else,” Pineda explained.
This workshop was part of Rancho Mesa’s RM365 Advantage Safety Star™ Program. At the end of the presentation, attendees were administered a quiz to receive credit towards earning their Safety Star certification.
Rancho Mesa is proud to host workshops on important topics such as these to assist clients in keeping their employees safe and manage their overall risk.
