Feeling Safe, Is No Longer An Option - Being Safe Is No Accident

Highway Safety is a world of unrelenting transformation, and deaths as well as injuries are mounting. Yesterday's safety products and services are no longer meeting the demands of safely securing dangerous highway environments.

The US, unlike European countries, has overlooked the need for effective safety devices in vehicles to protect motorist against deadly accidents. New technology solutions are designed to decrease, eliminate proactively, and reduce devastating incidences. These technologies are proven effective in highway environments, and alert oncoming traffic in advance to safely secure motorist (drivers and passengers) and assets (vehicles).

In response to dangerous highway environments today, government lawmakers are poised to make changes in laws to proactively protect drivers from potentially deadly accidents. In addition, recent increases in speed limits, poor lighting, aggressive driving attributes to highways becoming even more unsecured, especially for disabled vehicles that presents an immediate safety hazard for drivers.

Public expectations, safety demands, traditional products (warning triangles, traffic cones, and flares), and safety response services are changing at unprecedented speeds as consumers and commercial businesses alike are becoming more safety conscience. Unfortunately, traditional safety products are no longer making the grade.

"Meeting consumer safety demands require careful and in-depth proactive safety strategies that align with the latest safety integration technologies in order to effectively address safety concerns with "preemptive incident management solutions," says Tony Jackson, loss prevention and safety expert in the incident management industry.

Jackson went on to say, "if an incident is prevented, the immediate savings are realized in lives saved, injuries reduced, and protection of personal or commercial assets. Additional benefits of preempting accidents include reduction in insurance claims that will save insurance companies billions of dollars annually, reducing torts and lawsuits, claims in workers compensation and/or disability--the list of beneficial outcomes are limitless." The greatest benefit is safety awareness, because after all, if aware, 90% of avoiding an accident is already in place.

As we understand the great divide between traditional products and services when compared to new technology enhancements designed specifically to reduce incidences, injuries, and deaths, acting on this knowledge has led to what the incident management industry refers to as, "Preemptive Incident Prevention" (PIP) methodologies.

With a primary focus on integrated solutions that aligns with safety technologies, the incident management industry is integrating safety information with higher visibility products and services to create a consumer approach to Assured Incident Management Solutions (AIMS) as a common practice.

According to Jackson, a "Preemptive Incident Prevention" (PIP) methodology includes the following measures:

* Safety Advisory Awareness improved by 70-80% * Death, injury, and accident claims reduced by 90-95% * Proactive incident management prevention increased by 80-90% * Securing a potentially dangerous highway environment increased by 90-99% * Death or injury benefit liabilities reduced by 85-90%

"To succeed at making a difference, drivers expect the safety product industry to be at the forefront in anticipating and responding to safety requirement changes. Safety product providers should constantly invest in innovations designed to meet the safety concerns of the public, while exceeding standards of all regulatory agencies," says Jackson. We have more vehicles on the road today than at any time in history. With this increase, new safety product technologies are more important than ever before for motorist, because "being safe is indeed, avoiding an accident.
