DVD-based Defensive Driver Training for HGV Drivers

By conducting risk assessments of your HGV drivers you will identify whether someone is a High, Medium or Low risk.

High risk drivers will require in-vehicle training. Low risk drivers simply need re-assessing either annually to ensure their risk rating has not changed.

The biggest issue faced by most firms operating an HGV fleet is what to do with Medium risk drivers.

They do not pose the degree of risk that warrants taking them away from their duties to undertake in-vehicle intervention. However, they clearly need some form of refresher training.

The solution, designed by E-Training World for the HGV sector, is an interactive and highly effective driver training DVD.

By watching the DVD the driver is taken through a full HGV defensive driver training course, and the programme also enables them to get involved by answering questions using their remote control.

The DVD is supported with a workbook, which contains questions about the training, and this must be competed by the driver and posted back to their fleet manager as evidence that they have watched the DVD.

This forms part of a company’s vital audit trail to demonstrate that it has met its duty of care requirements.
