Importance of Driving Safety Training in the Workplace

Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of work-related deaths in the United States, and they affect far more than professional drivers. Anyone who drives a company car, van or pickup, or their own vehicle on company business, is exposed. Our Driving Safety training video covers the hazards drivers encounter on the road and the safe practices that help avoid them, and Driving Safety: The Basics, Driving Defensively and Distracted Driving give employees what they need to drive cars, vans and small trucks safely, on and off the job.

Commercial drivers face added demands, so we offer safety training videos for CDL and CMV drivers. Driving Defensively for CDL/Large Vehicle Drivers: The Basics and Handling Adverse Conditions cover bad weather, work zones and aggressive drivers. Fatigue is addressed in Fatigue and Its Effects, which also covers the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s regulations, and Preventing and Managing Fatigue. Drivers can sharpen their skills with alley dock backing and straight line, offset and parallel parking, and protect themselves off the road with Injury Prevention for CDL Drivers. For regulated fleets, see our DOT and transportation safety courses.

The general driving courses, the defensive driving and fatigue courses for CDL drivers, and Injury Prevention are available in English and Spanish, and the backing and personal safety courses in English. Train drivers through Unlimited Interactive Online Training, cover them in driver meetings with Unlimited Safety Video Streaming, or order safety DVDs and USBs.
