Blank-IT and Safety

Distraction is a major factor in road traffic accidents, with various studies reporting that a high proportion of accidents involve driver distraction to some degree. Even drivers of other vehicles can be distracted by display devices that are visible in your own vehicle.

Many national safety bodies have targeted the use of mobile phones as a major factor in accidents. In-vehicle computer displays present many of the same distraction dangers, drawing the driver's attention away from the road and traffic conditions. The subject is gaining State and Federal level attention, as shown by the US Transportation Secretary announcing a Distracted Driver Summit.

Protect Yourself

Blank-IT's clever design enables the driver to access a list of programs (such as navigational aids, reversing camera displays and despatch or scheduling systems) whilst immobilising all other computer options when the vehicle is in motion.

By limiting the functionality of computers whilst the vehicle is moving, Blank-IT helps reduce visual distractions, improving employee safety and potentially reducing costs associated with accidents.

Protect Your Employees

Legislation and Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) guidelines regarding use of in-vehicle display equipment could get stricter in future. Blank-IT may assist in preparing your fleet for any tightening of these regulations.
