Fleet Assessment Tool
ExxonMobil has developed a Hauler
Assessment Tool which is a pre-condition to participate in any ExxonMobil
tender.
The hauler conducts a self assessment (at least
anually) while ExxonMobil carries out spot checks. These include both internal
and external aspects. The tool includes sections covering all three safety
management systems, namely OIMS, VSMG and STOPs. It requires verifications and
measurements to be collected by the haulers. There are additional sections
specifically to assess the award of ‘Global Hauler of the Year.’
Safety performance indicators
Year-on-year performance measurement
is an ExxonMobil requirement of all its haulers. Specific criteria is outlined
for safety performance indicators (e.g., motor vehicle accidents are recorded
regardless of fault or cause).
Standard indicators are:
Measure the safety performance
a. # of Vehicle Accidents
b. # of Personal Injuries
c. # of Quality Incidents
d. # of
Environmental Incidents
e. # of recorded 'Near Miss' reports
Continuous Improvement
The performance indicators show top line
results. If a hauler’s safety performance is trending negative, he will be
subject to greater scrutiny. The company will work closely with that hauler to
correct deficiencies that may be due to weaknesses in one of the safety
management systems. Continuous improvements can be managed through processes
such as:
1. Regular assessments
2. Gap analysis
3. Gap
closure plans
4. Regular review and stewardship of both systems and
close out actions
5. Verification and measurements
Recognition and Reward
Recognition and Reward are key elements of
any safety program where the human element is so important. The main emphasis
is on appraising and recognising individual drivers, while for the hauler
there is an annual award.
Driver Recognition:
a. Individual performance appraisal
b. Safe Truck Driving Competition
& theoretical test
c. Award for safety milestone achievements
(million miles / kms without incident)
d. Safety awards at Drivers
meetings
e. Driver of the Year
