DriverSafe training for truck drivers
DriverSafe training teaches truck drivers how to avoid out-of-cab injuries. Within the road transport industry there are a significant number of out-of-cab incidents each year and prevention is the key to driver safety.
DriverSafe is an introductory health and safety training programme for truck drivers. If you work in the New Zealand road transport industry, then DriverSafe is designed for you.
DriverSafe training ensures all drivers and staff are:
- aware of their safety responsibilities when working in out-of-cab situations
- better able to manage hazards around stationary vehicles.
Research shows that DriverSafe trained drivers demonstrate improved safety attitudes and behaviours. The companies they work for have also reported a reduced number of injuries since taking part in the programme.
Successful DriverSafe trainees gain credits on the National Qualifications Framework.
Launched in partnership with ACC and Tranzqual in 2004, DriverSafe is now managed and administered by Tranzqual.
