Buses, company vehicles, taxis and trucks

Installing a Dräger Interlock XT into your vehicle will not only make your employees feel safer, but can also improve the image and reliability of your company. Furthermore, it underlines your commitment to road safety and the consequences of drink driving.

Several real life examples show the positive effects an alcohol interlock can have. The Dutch company Kuipers Logistics and the Austrian company Fluckinger Transport already recognised the advantages and positive effects of having an alcohol interlock fitted.

The following extracts of an interview with Kuipers Logistics were published in a Dräger Newsletter of October 2008:
“Kuipers Logistics, a medium-sized transport company based in Oldenzaal Netherlands, can see the benefit of the Dräger Interlock and realized the system in more than forty of its trucks. Dräger News talks to Harry Kuipers, owner and Director of the company, and to Philip Vollenbroek, who is responsible for the shipping and insurance divisions. Philip is furthermore supervising the ‘Interlock’ project.”

Access control to sensitive sites

Working in sensitive sites or high risk areas such as chemical laboratories, workshops with heavy machinery and food factories under the influence of alcohol can have an enormous impact on the safety of your employees and premises. Even minor consumption of alcohol can have effects on the coordination skills and concentration of your employees that can cause shutdown of operation, damage to equipment and even injuries or fatalities.
In order to avoid these situations, you can choose a Dräger Interlock XT as access control to such areas or equipment.
