Turn safety into a goal and recognition
A strong culture is built with purpose. Set goals to reduce risk events, recognize os drivers with best practices, involve the team in the campaigns and, most importantly, show that these numbers are closely monitored.
Use data as an ally in continuing education
By implementing telemetry tools, you will have real data on each rider's behavior: speeds, deviations, engine running time, cornering behavior, etc. The secret is in use this information intelligently, not to punish, but stop guide, train e track progress.
