Rancho Mesa’s Fleet Safety Workshop Recap: Teaching Safety and Compliance

Author, Megan Lockhart, Client Communications Coordinator, Rancho Mesa Insurance Services, Inc.

On Friday, May 17, 2024, Rancho Mesa welcomed attendees at the Mission Valley Library for Fleet Safety: Above and Beyond Compliance, a workshop presented by Jose Pineda from Travelers Insurance.

Clients enjoyed refreshments while Pineda highlighted important vehicle safety strategies and ways organizations can control their risk for fleet-related accidents.

The presentation proved to be both educational and entertaining as the presenter kept the audience engaged with frequent questions and anecdotes. After covering topics relating to insurance claims for commercial drivers and the many ways to prevent them, Pineda concluded by emphasizing the dangers of distracted driving and its threat to people’s lives on the road. 

“There is no claim amount that will replace a human life or the damage that will happen to a generation of people if it's removed because someone did something behind the wheel that they shouldn't have done. It's just not worth it. Let's make sure that you know that, and let's tell our folks that they need to know it too,” Pineda said. 

The presentation was recorded and will be available to clients at the end of the week.

Rancho Mesa is proud to host workshops on important topics such as these to assist clients in keeping their employees safe and their businesses secure.

Rancho Mesa Hosts Fleet Safety Workshop for Vehicle Accident Prevention

On Thursday, May 18, 2023, attendees gathered at the Mission Valley Library for the Fleet Safety: Above and Beyond Compliance workshop, presented by Jose Pineda from Travelers Insurance.

Clients enjoyed a complimentary lunch while Pineda highlighted important vehicle safety strategies and ways organizations can control their risk for fleet-related accidents.

The presentation proved to be both educational and entertaining with lighthearted anecdotes and audience participation. In order to emphasize the dangers of driver multitasking on the road, Pineda picked audience members to attempt spelling their ABC’s while simultaneously counting to 26.

“I’m just trying to prove to you… multitasking cannot happen. Can you go from one task to the other very quickly? Absolutely, but can you do them both? So, someone that tells me that they can be behind the wheel and…look at that phone, answer emails or just use that time as office time, it's not possible and you're going to end up hurting yourself or someone else,” Pineda explained. 

This workshop was part of Rancho Mesa’s RM365 Advantage Safety Star™ Program. At the end of the presentation, attendees were administered a quiz to receive credit towards earning their Safety Star certification.

Rancho Mesa is proud to host workshops on important topics such as these to assist clients in keeping their employees safe and manage their overall risk.
