eDriving Appoints Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability (EHS&S) Guru to Help Clients Incorporate Driver Risk Management into Wider Workplace Safety Programs


eDriving Appoints Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability (EHS&S) “Guru” to Help Clients Incorporate Driver Risk Management into Wider Workplace Safety Programs

I have a passion for helping improve the health and safety of drivers around the world because they are the highest risk group of people in any industry.

Established by Health and Safety expert Teri Snow, CSP, Snow Advisory provides support to business leaders to develop risk reduction solutions that add value, inspire and improve an organization’s safety culture while reducing operational risk.

Through the partnership, Snow will help eDriving’s clients develop policy and best practice, EHS&S and driver safety standards and will also be involved in the development of eDriving’s new programs, eLearning and guides that help clients more effectively link EHS&S and driver safety together.

“I have a passion for helping improve the health and safety of drivers around the world because they are the highest risk group of people in any industry,” said Snow. “Driver safety is typically one of those unknown risks. Many companies don’t realize just how much risk their drivers are exposed to, but the risk is there whether companies are aware of it or not. Looking at safety more broadly enables companies to evaluate all of the risks facing employees including driving, slips, trips & falls and ergonomics; driving is just one consideration but usually the riskiest.”

Snow has more than 30 years of practical experience as an EHS&S leader both at site and global levels. For over a decade, she was jointly responsible for establishing Pfizer’s Safety Culture Strategies, driving safety culture improvements, by developing creative solutions to engage individuals at all levels of the organization. As co-founder of Pfizer’s Global Fleet Driver Safety Program, Snow designed and implemented a results-oriented global fleet safety program in 35 countries for over 30,000 drivers. She has proven experience in assessing operational risk, building and fostering an innovative risk-based EHS&S culture while working effectively with a diversified range of customers across the globe, reducing risks in commercial safety in part by 50-70%.

“I’m delighted to welcome Teri and her team as a valuable resource to eDriving’s global customers to help them create a seamless flow between their workplace and road safety strategies. In more and more jurisdictions, the vehicle is being recognized as a place of work and that creates an enormous opportunity to link driver and workplace risk reduction programs together. This approach would lead to a less compartmentalized strategy, creating one consistent mindset and attitude to risk management in the workplace,” said Ed Dubens, Founder / CEO of eDriving.

“Many of our primary contacts at organizations across the globe are responsible for EHS&S across the organization, and I believe providing this additional support to successfully incorporate driver safety into their workplace programs is the next important step in creating a company-wide ‘crash and incident’ free culture.”

Why Drivers Should Compare Auto Insurance Online


News Image

“Do you want to save money on car insurance. Why not try online quotes? They can help you get the best rates,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains why drivers should compare car insurance quotes online.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/why-you-should-compare-auto-insurance-online/

Online quotes can be obtained using a brokerage website or an insurance company’s website, It all depends on how much time the user wants to dedicate to finding and comparing price estimates. Shopping around with the help of online quotes has some serious advantages. Check them out and get free quotes from http://compare-autoinsurance.org/


  • Comparing prices online will help drivers save hundreds of dollars. Online quotes will help drivers find affordable coverage. A smart person will compare offers from various sources before buying car insurance. The main role of quotes is to provide accurate price estimates for the chosen policies. Online brokerage websites display multiple search results on a single webpage. Using those websites is quicker and more effective than getting just a single quote from every car insurance company. Plus, the online questionnaires will differ, making price comparison a bit more difficult. On average, quotes can help drivers find policies cheaper with 5%-10% than a current provider’s renewal premium.
  • Good online questionnaires are complex and extensive. Really good brokerage websites rely on complex, extensive forms that will return very accurate results. The form must contain important questions for auto insurance companies: car manufacturer, model, fabrication year, type of car, approximate mileage per year. Also some personal information will be required: recent DUI incidents, workplace, if the car is still financed the car and so on. The info will help the website search for more accurate quotes.
  • Online quotes are very fast and easy to obtain. The Internet allows us to send and receive data really fast. Online quotes can be obtained in just several seconds. Clearly, this is much faster than any of the traditional ways of obtaining insurance quotes. The user does not have to leave the house in order to get the best online quotes.

What Are The Typical Auto Insurance Exclusions?


News Image

“Car insurance policies can’t protect drivers in any situation. Sometimes, their insurance policies can get voided from various reasons like unapproved customization, or because they used their personal cars to do business”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Car insurance exclusions are provisions written in the insurance contract. They exclude coverage for a particular driver or event. Carefully check the Exclusions section before signing any contract. Drivers can also check https://compare-autoinsurance.org/ for more info about car insurance and free quotes.

The most common car insurance exclusions include:


  • Damage caused by unregistered drivers. It’s quite common for a driver to borrow the car to a friend or a relative. In most cases, these friends or relatives are not registered in the car insurance contract. If any of these unregistered friends or relatives is at-fault in a car accident, then the insurance company can void the insurance policy and deny any claims.
  • Damaging the car on purpose. Intentionally damaging the car is another typical exclusion. Companies will investigate the cause of the damage before resolving any claim. If the damage was caused on purpose, the claim will be rejected and the policyholder can be even accused of a fraud attempt.
  • Using a personal car for commercial purposes. Many insurance companies will not cover an accident if the vehicle was used to deliver goods or materials at the moment of the accident. For any commercial use, the policyholder must purchase commercial car insurance.
  • Unapproved customization. Drivers that are modifying their vehicles without announcing their insurers, might get in trouble. The customized parts will not be covered by the insurance provider, and in many cases, the entire vehicle will become uninsurable. Most car insurance contracts require the policyholders to announce their insurers if they plan to modify their vehicles. If they fail to do that, then the insurance contract can be voided.
  • Consequential damage. This type of damage refers to other losses or damage that resulted from a claimable event. For example, drivers can lose their wages if they are not capable to drive to their workplace as a result of a car accident. This type of damage is not covered by car insurance companies.

Why Drivers Should Scan The Market For Better Insurance Deals


News Image

“Car insurance quotes allow customers to scan the insurance market in a safe, effective and pleasant way. With just a few minutes spent in front of the PC, drivers can save lots of money”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

The car insurance market has become pretty complex and diverse. With the emergence of new technologies, new types of cars, the insurers had to adapt. Plus, there are new types of insurance, like UBI-types (Usage-Based Insurance). Without proper knowledge and tools, a driver can quickly end up making costly mistakes. This is why drivers should use car insurance quotes provided by https://compare-autoinsurance.org/

Scanning the insurance market with the help of online quotes has the following advantages:


  • It’s the quickest way to check the current market status and average costs. Insurance quotes provide estimates of the coverage costs. Depending on the source of the quote, they are based on statistical models and algorithms or they just get the average costs from a database. Either way, a driver will get to know how much is expected to pay. It only takes a few minutes to get quotes and start comparing prices.
  • Obtain quotes in a safe and pleasant way. Drivers do not have to leave their homes just to get quotes. They can do it wherever they want, as long as they have an internet connection and a PC/mobile device.
  • Get in touch with numerous insurance companies. This is another big advantage of shopping online for car insurance. Clients become aware that there are more companies that they were aware of. And some of those companies may offer really high-quality services at very affordable prices.

Inxeption Logo

“We’re excited to help customers protect their freight and parcel shipments as part of the logistics transaction. Our goal is offering responsive, complete coverage, and resolving claims as quickly as possible,” says Inxeption’s Vice President Product Marketing, Jennifer Roberts.

Inxeption Corp. announced today it is offering its customers competitively priced insurance protection for their freight and parcel shipments. The goal is to reduce the hassles and delays surrounding compensation for goods damaged or lost in transit, which is a frequent source of frustration and expense for businesses of all kinds and sizes.

Many businesses believe they are getting shipping protection through their carrier’s liability coverage. Later, they learn it does not function as actual shipping insurance and they have to haggle over unpaid carrier liability claims. With Inxeption, customers can quickly and easily sign up for either parcel or freight shipping protection as part of their shipping process because the service is integrated into Inxeption’s powerful I-commerce platform. Then, they can return to running their business instead of worrying about damage, lost deliveries, and other covered events.

If something does go wrong, thanks to Inxeption’s partnership with Falvey Shippers Insurance, Inxeption Commerce Partners can file a claim online, making it fast and easy to be reimbursed. According to Falvey, the average claim is settled in just 7-10 days once supporting documentation is submitted. “Having convenient access to shipping insurance is a benefit for companies seeking to protect their investments throughout the supply chain,” says Inxeption’s Vice President Product Marketing, Jennifer Roberts. “We’re excited to help customers protect their freight and parcel shipments as part of the logistics transaction. Our goal is offering responsive, complete coverage, and resolving claims as quickly as possible.”
