J.J. Keller is now offering an on-site, consultant-led program to help fleets prepare to manage incidents.

It covers: driver accident procedures; accident registers; drug and alcohol testing requirements; evidence and data preservation; accident reconstruction; root cause analysis; and follow-up response to prevent future accidents, among other things.

“What makes this training so special is that it not only trains managers on how to quickly and accurately respond to an accident by meeting the letter of the FMCSA standards,” said Sean Nebert, director of transport consulting services at J. J. Keller, “but also how to conduct an investigation that can protect the carrier from legal liability while preventing future accidents.”

“After a crash, there’s a lot to do in a short window of time,” Nebert added. “By having the proper training and processes in place, carriers greatly reduce their risk of costly mistakes being made.”
