Fleet Analytics & Risk Mitigation

Strategic Management Guide

The SALA Platform transforms biomechanical data into actionable business intelligence. This guide outlines how to use the dashboard to maximize fleet uptime and minimize insurance liabilities.

1. Understanding the Risk Index (Ri) Aggregate

The dashboard provides a fleet-wide view of musculoskeletal health. Unlike telematics that track vehicles, SALA tracks human capital performance.

• Fleet Stability: Monitoring if multiple drivers are hitting high Ri simultaneously (indicates a systemic issue with cargo type or route scheduling).
• Unit Specifics: Identifying individual drivers who may require ergonomic retraining or mechanical aid assistance.

2. Intervention Protocols

As a manager, your intervention is required when the system flags Critical status (Ri > 80%).

Status	Interpretation	Managerial Action Required
Elevated	Cumulative fatigue setting in.	Monitor next logs. No immediate action.
Critical	High risk of acute back injury.	Contact driver. Suggest mechanical aid for the next load.
Violation	Sf thresholds exceeded.	Mandatory HSE review of the specific task performed.

3. Regulatory Compliance (Norway)

SALA provides the data layer required for Arbeidstilsynet audits. In Norway, employers are legally obligated to facilitate work for employees with reduced functional capacity or high physical strain.

Pro-tip: Use the "Risk Logs" tab to generate monthly reports for your Verneombud (Safety Delegate) meetings. This proves a proactive stance on employee health.

4. Cost-Benefit of Preventive Breaks

A 5-minute recovery break triggered by a SALA "Red Alert" costs the company approximately 45 NOK in operational time. A single case of chronic back pain (prolapse) can cost upwards of 500,000 NOK in indirect costs, recruitment, and insurance premiums.
