Each year motor vehicle accidents claim more than two million lives worldwide and result in tens of millions serious injuries. In fact, they are the number one cause of death on the job.
Employees can prevent these incidents if they understand how to deal with the hazards that they can encounter on the road... whether they result from mechanical problems, bad weather, darkness, distraction, other drivers or even themselves.
If employees approach driving with this knowledge, as well as the proper attitude, good driving skills and a well-maintained vehicle, they can help to prevent accidents and injuries… and make the roads a safer place for everyone.
Topics covered in this course include:
- "Preparing" to drive safely
- Safe driving principles for all drivers
- Driving safely when sharing the road with trucks and buses
- Staying safe when driving at night and in inclement weather
- Avoiding distractions when you're driving
- The dangers of road rage
- What to do if a "driving emergency" arises
- ...and more.
