How Fleet and Asset Management Helps Protect Workers in Oil and Gas Working in the oil and gas industry comes with unique challenges. Heavy machinery, hazardous chemicals, and remote work sites make safety a top priority. Being a safety leader means more than following regulations. It requires using connected data, obtaining visibility, and proactive tools to protect your team every day. Fleet and asset management play a major role in improving safety, reducing risk, and keeping operations running efficiently. Platforms like Pedigree Technologies’ OneView bring together vehicles, equipment, and drivers into a single system, helping teams move from reacting to issues to preventing them. Compliance is the First Step Compliance is the foundation of any safety program. Following OSHA, DOT, and local regulations ensures operations meet required safety standards. But managing compliance manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Fleet and asset management software help automate this process by tracking vehicle inspections, maintenance schedules, and driver certifications in one place. This reduces administrative burden while helping ensure nothing is missed. Feature in Action: RF Hazard Control in Canada In Canada, the handling of explosives is regulated by the Explosives Act and supporting regulations enforced by Natural Resources Canada. One key safety concern is radio frequency (RF) interference. Certain RF-emitting devices, including telematics hardware, may pose a risk in environments with electric detonators if not properly managed. Modern fleet and asset management platforms can support compliance by enabling controlled management of RF-emitting devices in designated zones. This allows companies to operate safely in sensitive environments while maintaining visibility into their assets and operations. Read the full story here. Track Assets in Real Time Knowing where every vehicle and piece of equipment is located at all times improves both safety and response times. GPS tracking provides visibility across job sites, remote locations, and transit routes If a vehicle breaks down near a hazardous area, operations teams can quickly locate it and send support safely. Real-time visibility also helps prevent unauthorized use of equipment, reducing the risk of incidents caused by untrained operators. Move from Preventive to Predictive Maintenance Maintenance is more than checking the oil or replacing filters. With connected sensors and telematics data, fleets can detect early warning signs of equipment issues such as overheating, voltage irregularities, or fluid problems. Instead of reacting to failures, teams can address issues before they lead to downtime or safety incidents. By combining preventive maintenance with predictive insights, safety leaders can improve equipment reliability and reduce the risk of unexpected failures in hazardous environments. Monitor Driver and Operator Behavior Vehicle-related accidents are one of the leading causes of injuries in oil and gas operations. Monitoring how drivers operate vehicles can reduce this risk significantly. Fleet management systems track fleet safety behaviors such as speeding, harsh braking, and excessive idling. With access to this data, safety managers can identify trends and coach drivers proactively, encouraging safer driving habits. Over time, this creates a culture of accountability and continuous improvement, helping reduce accidents without relying on reactive enforcement. Using Geofencing to Increase Hazard Awareness Geofencing sets virtual boundaries around high-risk or restricted areas. When a vehicle enters a restricted or dangerous zone, alerts can be triggered immediately. This helps prevent equipment from operating in unsafe locations and ensures drivers follow approved routes. For instance, if a tanker truck approaches a chemical storage area or restricted drilling zone, a geofence alert can notify both the driver and operations team to take action before a hazard occurs. Prepare for Emergencies Even with strong safety practices, emergencies can happen. Fleet and asset management software provides critical support in these situations. Knowing exactly where equipment and personnel are located allows first responders to act quickly. For example, if a drill rig experiences a mechanical failure, managers can immediately locate nearby safety crews and coordinate response efforts. This rapid access to information helps limit injuries, reduce environmental damage, and contain hazards before they escalate. Turn Data into a Safer Culture Data is one of the most powerful tools for improving safety. Fleet and asset management software collect information across operations, from equipment performance to driver behavior and site activity. With centralized Dashboards and reporting, safety leaders can identify patterns, uncover risks, and make informed decisions. Whether it is recurring equipment issues or trends in driver behavior, this data helps teams to continuously improve safety practices. Combining data with training and leadership organizations can build a proactive safety culture where safety is a priority for every employee, not just a checklist item. Actionable Steps for Safety Leaders Implement GPS tracking for all vehicles and equipment to improve visibility. Automate alerts for maintenance, inspections, and certifications. Monitor driver behavior and provide coaching based on data. Use geofencing to protect workers in high-risk zones. Promote a proactive safety culture by reviewing data, training teams, and sharing lessons learned. From Compliance to Prevention Being a safety leader in oil and gas is more than following the rules. It is about using technology, data, and proactive strategies to predict risks and prevent accidents before they happen. Fleet and asset management platforms like OneView help unify data across vehicles, equipment, and drivers, giving organizations the tools they need to stay compliant, improve reliability, and respond to emergencies quickly. By combining these practices, oil and gas companies can create a safer workplace and ensure employees go home safely every day. Want to lead safety in your industry?

The Challenge In Canada, handling explosives is governed by the Explosives Act, a federal law that regulates the manufacture, storage, transport, and use of blasting materials, electric detonators, and other devices that could present a hazard if triggered unintentionally. One of the biggest risks comes from radio frequency (RF) energy. Some devices, like GPS trackers or wireless sensors, can emit frequencies that may unintentionally activate electric detonators or blasting circuits if they are too close. That creates a serious safety concern on job sites that involve blasting, drilling, or handling explosives. Without proper controls in place, both workers and equipment can be put at risk. Oil and gas companies working in or near explosive environments need a way to protect personnel and equipment while staying compliant with Canadian federal law. The Solution Pedigree Technologies’ fleet and asset management software, OneView , includes RF hazard control built directly into the system. This gives companies direct control over device signals, allowing them to disable RF when it matters most without losing visibility into their operations. With this feature, fleets can: Disable RF signals when vehicles enter high-risk zones where blasting or explosive materials are present Alert drivers if the RF remains disabled when vehicles leave those zones Track device status alongside vehicle, asset, and job activity in a single platform Maintain detailed logs for compliance, audits, and internal safety reviews Because it’s part of OneView, this capability works alongside your location tracking, asset visibility, and operational workflows. The Impact This RF hazard control feature delivers value across safety, compliance, and operations: Protects Workers and Equipment By disabling RF signals in high-risk areas, fleets reduce the chance of accidental activation of explosive devices. This protects crews, contractors, and the surrounding infrastructure. Supports Regulatory Compliance All activity is logged within OneView, making it easier to demonstrate compliance with the Explosives Act and stay inspection-ready. Brings Safety and Operations Together Teams can monitor RF controls alongside asset location, movement, and usage in one place, instead of managing safety in a separate system. Improves Operational Confidence From field teams to safety leaders, everyone has visibility into when and where RF controls were activated, so there are no gaps or guesswork. Want to see how RF hazard control works in your operation? Let’s walk through it together. Reach out to us today.

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. While most campaigns focus on personal responsibility, fleets know the reality is bigger than that. Distracted driving isn’t just texting anymore. It’s dispatch updates. It’s adjusting navigation. It’s grabbing something from the passenger seat. It’s the split-second decisions that feel harmless until they aren’t. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , distracted driving claimed over 3,000 lives in a single year. Thousands more were injured. For fleets, those numbers translate into something even more tangible. Risk, liability, and operational disruption. And the truth is, most drivers don’t think they’re distracted, and that’s where the problem starts. What Counts as Distracted Driving (Hint: It’s More Than You Think) Distracted driving falls into three categories: Visual, eyes off the road Manual, hands off the wheel Cognitive, mind off driving It’s not just phones. It’s everything that pulls attention away, even for a few seconds. At highway speeds, taking your eyes off the road for five seconds is like driving the length of a football field blind. Now multiply that across an entire fleet. Why This Hits Fleets Harder For individual drivers, distracted driving is dangerous. For fleets, it’s exponential. It impacts: Driver safety and well-being Liability and claims exposure CSA scores and compliance standing Equipment downtime and missed deliveries Driver retention and company culture One incident doesn’t just affect one person. It ripples across operations, customers, and the bottom line. Awareness Is a Start. It’s Not the Solution. Organizations like the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and NHTSA continue to push important awareness campaigns every April. And they matter. But awareness alone does not change behavior. If it did, this would not still be a problem. Fleets need more than reminders. They need visibility, accountability, and real-time intervention. Where Pedigree Technologies Makes the Difference At Pedigree Technologies, we do not believe in handing you more data and calling it a solution. We believe in helping fleets see what is actually happening and act on it. Through the OneView™ platform , fleets can: Identify distracted driving behaviors in real time with AI-powered in-cab camera systems Alert drivers in the moment to correct behavior before it becomes an incident Track patterns over time with driver scorecards and performance insights Coach drivers effectively using real, actionable data This is not about catching drivers doing something wrong. It is about giving them the tools and support to do their jobs safely and confidently. Because at the end of the day, safety is not just a metric. It is a commitment. A Better Approach to Safety Distracted driving is preventable. But prevention requires more than good intentions. It requires: Clear visibility into behavior Consistent coaching Technology that works in the real world, not just on paper The fleets that get this right do not just reduce risk. They build stronger, safer, more reliable operations. And that is where real performance starts. Are you looking for ways to minimize distracted driving or incorporate driver coaching and scorecards into your operations? We’d love to connect.

Ready to See Trailer Visibility in Action? Protect heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and the assets connected to them with discreet, dependable tracking. Request a Demo Frequently Asked Questions How does the tracker stay powered when the truck is off? The Tail Light Tracker charges itself during normal operation. Every time the brakes are applied or the running lights are on, the unit recharges. Since running lights are legally required while driving, the tracker continuously replenishes power during regular use. It also includes a built-in reserve battery, allowing it to continue reporting even when the trailer is stationary. How easy is installation? Installation is as simple as replacing a standard 4” round tail light. It mounts and wires the same way a normal tail light does, with the GPS technology built discreetly inside. No additional drilling, external antennas, or visible hardware required. Does it really look like a standard tail light? Yes. From the outside, it is indistinguishable from a normal tail light. That’s intentional. There are no visible indicators that it contains a GPS tracker, making it ideal for theft prevention because it remains hidden in plain sight. How does this help prevent theft? Because the tracker is concealed inside a working tail light, thieves typically do not detect it. If a trailer or asset is stolen, you can: · Immediately ping the trailer or asset · Identify its real-time location · Provide authorities with accurate recovery coordinates The combination of concealment and on-demand tracking dramatically improves the likelihood of recovery. What are the reporting intervals? The Tail Light Tracker reports: · On stop and start motion · Every 15 minutes while in transit · Ping On-demand when you need real-time location The key differentiator is ping-on-demand capability. As an example, if a trailer is suspected of being stolen or misplaced, you can immediately request its location rather than waiting for the next reporting interval.
