:.Fleet Safety Case Study at AbbottExhibit 3 Behind-The-Wheel (BTW) RatingRanee SpradlinColumbia Southern UniversityThis article examines the study of case of Abbott's pharmaceuticals division. The chart symbolizes vertical bars by calendar year. The elements of the graph represent the two bars for each year with the number of vehicle accidents for that year, reflecting the formulations of percentages for drivers with and without behind-the-wheel training (BTW) (Abbott, 2001). The Study on Safety and Health of Vehicle Accidents and Their Study Indicators Where Management Supported Fleet Driving Operations Compared to Those Who Did Not Support Training BTW. Abbott's case study reflects in Exhibit 3 behind-the-wheel training compared to drivers who received no training. Before 1999, there was no type of training like this in research. Today, working with new recruit fleet organizations, we have chosen to develop a plan to equip our new drivers with safer driving techniques and teachable skills to enhance a new understanding of the daily risks faced our drivers are faced with the steering wheel. The following questions were asked:1. Based on the information in the case and Exhibit 3 of the study, would you recommend behind-the-wheel training only for new hires or for the entire driver fleet? Explain why you made this decision. Scope of Contrast To answer the first question, we need to see where we were, where they were and what projections did they set for a 6 year projection target. Abbott Case Study Updated Version 2012, or even now Percentage Rate 2013. In 2013, Abbott's global vehicle accident rate improved by 6% from the 2012 rate, reaching 4, 8 accidents per million kilometers traveled (Abbott, 2013). The long term...... middle of paper ......r insurance, duty to inform and responsibility to enforce death rates are decreasing and with all the studies written they all point to a “training” thinking process.
