Safe Driving Awareness Training
This Safe Driving Awareness course provides employees with the key knowledge they need to practice safe driving, helping to minimise the risks associated with being on the road.
What is Phoenix's Safe Driving Awareness Training?
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires businesses to give driving the same level of attention as any other occupational safety risk. As such, providing employees with the necessary health and safety training is a key responsibility of employers.
Phoenix’s Safe Driving Awareness Training helps employers fulfil this requirement, supplying the key information on safe driving practices, minimising the risks associated with being on the road.
As part of safe driving management, employers must assess relevant risks and implement sufficient control measures to protect themselves and fellow drivers.
