Certification compares fleet safety performance to industry
averages CHICAGO, March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aon Risk
Services, the retail brokerage and risk management unit of Aon
Corporation (NYSE:AOC), has developed the first nationwide fleet
safety certification for trucking companies. SafeFleet
Certification, developed by the Trucking practice, is a unique
performance-based safety certification that compares a fleet's
safety performance against averages for the U.S. trucking industry.

Each trucking company's safety performance is measured against the
industry average in several safety benchmarks, including
out-of-service violations; DOT crashes -- those that involve
injury, fatality or tow; crash-related injuries and fatalities; and
injuries that result in lost workdays. Fleets earn a Gold
Certification if their safety performance is 35 percent better than
the trucking-industry average, a Silver Certification if safety
performance is 25 percent better, or Bronze Certification at 15
percent better. Fleets renew their certification every two years.
"This first of its kind safety certification is designed to
recognize fleets that have outstanding safety performance," said
David Mitchell, director of risk control and safety for Aon's
Trucking practice. "Because only about 15 percent of trucking
companies can meet our rigorous certification standards, trucking
companies that do meet those standards should expect improved
claims defense and reduced claims costs, favorable treatment from
insurance and reinsurance underwriters, better driver retention,
and increased sales to shippers." SafeFleet measures driver and
vehicle compliance, crash performance, and workplace injury
performance. Excellent safety performance in these areas helps
reduce the cost of risk for auto liability, physical damage,
workers' compensation, and occupational injury events. With
SafeFleet Certification, a trucking company can state that their
safety performance has been audited by an independent third party,
and the company has an excellent safety history. For more
