Personal Safety… for CMV Drivers

This Interactive course on Personal Safety… for CMV Drivers discusses the hazards that CMV drivers face and how they can protect themselves on the road. It also provides practical guidance on how drivers should react in emergencies to keep themselves safe. When people think of CMV driver safety, their first focus is typically avoiding accidents. While that’s certainly important, it’s not the only thing drivers have to worry about. They work many hours on long stretches of road, often alone, which can make them targets for violent crimes. And if they don’t know how to “take care of themselves” during their trips, it can have serious consequences for their physical and mental health. So it’s important that drivers are given the tools and information that they need to stay safe while they’re on the road. Areas covered in the course include taking care of yourself, preparing for your trip, being responsible on the road, anticipating potential threats, what to do in an emergency, loading and unloading safely and more.
