Driver Awareness Training – For Your Team

Driver Awareness Training

This Driver Awareness Training Course is for any of your team members who drive as part of their job. It looks at legal requirements and responsibilities involved in being a safe driver. It also covers what to do if they breakdown or have an accident. Its high-quality has been highlighted with a stamp of approval from IOSH.

Driving is something you probably do almost every day and it’s easy to become complacent, particularly if you are regularly travelling the same route. This driver awareness programme aims to be a good reminder of general road safety – things your team can do to keep themselves and other road users safe.

If your team drive 25,000 or more work-miles, it’s probably the most dangerous part of their job. Every week, around 200 road deaths or serious injuries involve someone driving for work. With around 3 million company cars on the road, 1 in 3 will be involved in an accident of some kind every year.

This driver awareness training programme aims to highlight some of the daily risks when driving. It’s about promoting an awareness of what’s going on around you, where the other drivers and road users are, what they are doing and what they might do next. It’s also about properly preparing for a journey and checking your vehicle, as well as knowing what to do in case you are involved in an accident.

• Learn simple actions that can make your journey’s safer
