Driver
Training:
Is it the Right Solution for Your Vehicle Crash Problem?
Thursday,
February 17, 2005
2:00 PM Eastern Time
Today’s
employer has a legal responsibility for ensuring that
only qualified drivers operate vehicles driven on
company business. With the rapid influx of technology,
the complexity of vehicles, and the unprecedented
levels of traffic congestion today, driving has become
an extremely complex and risky task. These factors
are underscored by the increasing threat of litigation
and its staggering court and award costs. To ensure
that their drivers practice safety on the roadways
and to reduce their legal risk, many employers turn
to a driver training program for protection. But driver
training is not a stand-alone solution and even the
best program does not completely safeguard a company
from legal peril and costly liabilities. A successful
driver training program is part of an on-going safety
process that promotes and values safe driving.
Is
driver training the solution for your company’s
crash risk? Is it enough to protect your employees
and your organization’s assets?
