Ensuring Safe Return to Work with ExceleRATE

This use case explains how ExceleRATE helps companies make sure their drivers are ready and safe to return to work after a leave, by evaluating functional abilities through a cognitive performance assessment and cognitive on-road evaluation. 

Introduction

When drivers come back to work after taking short-term or long-term leave, it’s important to ensure they are fully capable of driving safely again. ExceleRATE helps companies evaluate drivers’ abilities and manage any risks before they return to the road.

Problem Statement

Drivers returning from short-term or long-term leave may have experienced changes in their cognitive abilities. Without proper evaluation, these changes could lead to safety risks. Companies need a way to check if these drivers are still fit to handle the challenges of driving, ensuring safer communities and commercial driver safety.

Solution Overview

ExceleRATE offers a comprehensive Return to Work (RTW) process, combining cognitive performance assessments with cognitive on-road evaluations to ensure drivers are fully prepared before returning to the road. This helps to identify any impairment risks, ensuring that only drivers who are fully ready return to work.

Implementation

When a driver is set to return from short-term or long-term leave, they undergo ExceleRATE’s RTW process. The cognitive performance assessment measures their mental sharpness, while the cognitive on-road evaluation checks their on-road skills. The results of these tests help the company decide if the driver is ready to return, or if further support or training is needed.

Expected Results/Outcome

Using ExceleRATE for the RTW process ensures that drivers are safe and capable before they return to work. This leads to proactive risk management and strengthens commercial driver safety. By ensuring that drivers are fully prepared, companies also improve truck driver retention, as drivers feel supported and valued. ExceleRATE helps companies deliver quality services beyond compliance, making sure their safety standards are not just met but exceeded.
