No mobiles on road for Arco
May 1st 2009 Recent studies have shown that
people using hands-free phones while
driving are just as likely to have a car
crash as those using hand-held
phones. From the 30th March, Arco
employees were banned from using
mobile phones and associated
hands free technology while driving
on company business to ensure their
safety.
The campaign is supported by
Judith Hackitt, Chair, Health and
Safety Executive, who says: "This is a
good example of leadership in action.
A company whose business is health
and safety needs to lead by example
with its own workforce."
In order to avoid any disruption in
customer service levels, the company
has introduced a new customer
contact strategy for field based
employees who spend long periods in
their car visiting customers, with calls
diverted to alternative team members. More articles from Arco Limited: |
