Mike Gibney, Director of Loss Control for Orkin, credits the GPS system for the significant decline in accidents over the years. He says, Not only can we track where the vehicle is, where it has been, and how long it was at a given location, but Orkin also has alarms built into the GPS system that let the employee know to slow down or put on their seat belt.

We all know that speed kills, and not wearing your seat belt is an invitation to injury or death if an accident were to occur. Knowing this, Orkin made the commitment, through GPS, to make sure its 5,500+ pest control professionals are protected against accidents and injuries.
