When soft drinks manufacturer, GSK
found rough terrain at its
manufacturing plant had the
potential to damage its fleet of 21
forklifts and, more importantly, cause
injuries to personnel, the company
turned to Davis Derby to help
improve the situation.
After analysing traffic movements and the client's shock incident record, Davis Derby supplied and fitted its Fleet Management Information System (FMIS), including the shock indication module, to seven of the trucks and a diesel pump. Drivers were issued with SMART cards, which allow access to and record logged-on and operational time on the vehicles.
In addition to improved health and safety across the plant, the business also reports significant reductions in shock levels being recorded, as potholes and other hazards are now being identified through the daily shock reports.
