Driving: Driving Safety

Vehicular accidents are the leading cause of workplace deaths. It's easy for people who drive for a living to become complacent about the hazards of the road. This Video On Demand will reawaken them to their responsibility for driving safely.

This video training covers pre-trip equipment checks, becoming familiar with an unfamiliar vehicle, the use of safety belts and other safety equipment, testing brakes, determining a safe following distance and providing a cushion of safety around the vehicle. Tips for sharing the road with semi-trucks will give viewers a renewed respect for the power of these vehicles, and challenges of controlling them. A review of safe passing techniques will help minimize head-on collisions as well as sideswipe accidents. Drivers are reminded to read and obey speed limits and traffic control signs. Driving at night, in rain and snow, and properly responding to emergency situations, such as tire failure and accidents, is reviewed. Details of retaining vehicular control in skids, when hydroplaning and after a blow-out are provided.

Keep your employees from becoming statistics. Provide them with safe driving refresher training to help them regain awareness of how dangerous driving can be, and demonstrate how their safety and well-being are important to your organization.
