:.Fleet Safety Case Study at AbbottExhibit 3 Evaluation Behind the Wheel (BTW)Ranee SpradlinColumbia Southern UniversityThis article examines the case study of Abbott's Pharmaceuticals Division. The graph symbolizes vertical bars based on the calendar year. The graph elements represent the two bars for each year with the number of car accidents for that year reflecting percentage formulations for drivers with and without training behind the wheel (BTW) (Abbott,2001). The study on vehicle safety and health accidents and related study indicators where management supported fleet driving operations versus those who did not support BTW training. Abbott's case study is reflected in figure no. 3: Behind the wheel training compared to drivers who have not received any training. Before 1999 there was no type of training like this mentioned in the research. Today, working with new hires, fleet organizations have chosen to develop a plan to provide our new drivers with safer driving techniques and teachable skills to enhance a new understanding of the daily risk our drivers face behind the 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 for new hires only or for your entire driver fleet? Explain why you came to this decision. Scope of Contrast To answer the first question you need to see where we were, where they were, and what projections they set for a 6-year projection target. Abbott case study updated to 2012 version, or even now 2013 percentage rates. In 2013, Abbott's global auto accident rate increased 6 percent over the 2012 rate, to 4.8 accidents per million miles driven (Abbott , 2013). The long t...... middle of the paper......r insurance the duty to inform and the responsibility to enforce and the mortality rate are decreasing and with all the studies written they all point to a thought process “training”.
