“35% fleet reduction withinthe next three years”
Vehicle Availability and ESH Issues
15 C-AD Groups raised vehicle availability issues during group feedback meetings in 2010
Examples:· “The number of vehicles that the group has is well below past inventory of
vehicles – this delays work and causes possible safety problems if workers lift heavy vacuum equipment in order to get the job done instead of waiting for a free vehicle or hunting one down from another group”
· “Vehicle that have been requested by the Group are needed if work schedules are to be kept and safe movement of materials is expected; the Group looked into getting battery powered vehicles and the problem was – who could maintain them at BNL at what cost to C-AD”
· “Workers now have to use personal vehicle to transport equipment. This could be a safety issue with large equipment in one’s personal car “
· “The Group badly needs a lift gate vehicle so they don’t have to “beg” other groups for one; this increase stress and delays job completion”
Think Outside the Box GPS tracking of C-AD vehicles
· Determine location and use pattern of each vehicle· Optimize distribution of C-AD fleet based on use
Create central pool for total C-AD fleet rather than partial pool and partial C-AD Group dispersed
Make C-AD vehicle requests a formal part of the C-AD work request system that is used for maintenance days and shutdown
Develop a personal vehicle use policy (address: insurance, contamination, damage and personal injury issues)
Prepare justification for not reducing C-AD vehicles by 35% based on critical mission needs, environmental concerns or safety concerns
