Abstract: In many companies, the Transportation Department has little direct involvement in accident prevention. When the topic is raised, a typical response might be Oh, Corporate Safety takes care of that. We dont do too badly with accidents, but Im not really sure of the facts and figures. Regardless of whether our Transportation Departments have any responsibility for vehicle accident prevention programs, we all are responsible for repairing the accident damage, and that means that vehicle accidents are costing us a lot of money. It was this realization that caused the topic to get an awful lot of attention at Bahimore Gas & Electric in the last few years. In 1983, The Company realized that our vehicle accident record had been getting dramatically worse over the years. Figure I shows that in 1980 we had 391 recordable vehicle accidents by 1982 that number had increased by 40 percent. We wondered whether this phenomenon was also occurring in other utilities.
