Romec Drives Safety With Masternaut Tracking on 1000 Vehicles
LEEDS, England, April 7, 2010-- Romec, one of the UK's largest facilities management companies, has
improved the safety of its mobile workers after equipping 1000 service
vehicles with Masternaut satellite tracking. The Masternaut Three X real-time
service is part of Romec's health and safety measures for its workforce. It
has already reduced speeding by 82 per cent and fines by 26 per cent, with a
28 per cent reduction in road traffic accidents (RTA) involving Romec staff.
"We've installed Masternaut GPS vehicle tracking systems for all
engineers. This will work alongside our scheduling software and allow us to
provide 24 hour accountability. The impact of the system has been extremely
positive in reducing speeding and RTAs involving our people and associated
endorsements and fines," says Lee Russell, IS Business Partner, Romec.
The web-based Masternaut service gives Romec's engineering services team
a live view of its vehicles and drivers, enabling real-time monitoring of
actual progress against work schedules. With the system, managers in the
National Service Centre, Stockport, are able to see vehicles travelling to
and from customers sites and receive automatic alerts on screen and in real
time.
"The National Service Centre protects 500,000 assets throughout the UK
and with Masternaut we get a bird's eye view of engineers where ever they may
be at any time. The always-on vehicle tracking service not only supports our
duty of care policy, it also helps to encourage engineers to drive carefully
and consider other road users," says Lee Russell.
Katie Shephard, spokesperson for road safety charity Brake, says: "Brake
is delighted that Romec and Masternaut Three X are working together to reduce
crashes and improve driving behaviour. Shockingly, one in three crashes
involves a vehicle being driven for work. Romec should be commended for
prioritising the safety of their drivers and investing in road safety."
Romec is one of few organisations that can deliver a range of facilities
services across a national network. By providing services to blue chip
clients, the company has built a reputation based on technology enabled
performance, reliability and flexibility. Romec provides a complete range of
facilities management services - from specialist project management, cutting
edge printing and manufacturing through to consultancy, design, installation
and maintenance of your building, fire and security systems.
