ABOUT THIS COURSE
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 you can do to keep yourself and other road users safe.
If you drive 25,000 or more work-miles, it's probably the most dangerous part of your job, in fact, there is a 1 in 8,000 chance of suffering a fatal accident whilst driving. It’s estimated that around a third of all road accidents which happen every year involve somebody who was driving for work; that accounts for 20 deaths and 250 serious injuries every week.
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 or you break down.
It's perfect for those driving as part of a commercial fleet or for those who regularly go 'offsite' as part of their job. However, it doesn't have to be used in conjunction with work; It also acts as the perfect refresher for ANYONE that drives regularly, be it on business or not.
This course is perfect for everyone who drives as a part of their work (no matter how infrequently), as well as anyone who drives in the general routines of their day-to-day lives.

WHY IS THIS TRAINING IMPORTANT?
COMPLIANCE
It's important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
There are a number of laws which protect people whose jobs involve driving:
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 is there to make sure there are high standards of health and safety at work and that employees and the public are protected from anything related to work activities. This includes driving. Everyone has a duty to comply with the Act and if you drive unsafely at work, even if you’re driving your own car both you AND your employer can be prosecuted. You also have a responsibility to ensure that others are not put at risk by your work-related driving activities.
