DriverSafe
DriverSafe is an introductory health and safety induction training programme for truck drivers. It is an easy-to-understand course on how to prevent out of cab injuries.
These injuries result in a significant number of incidents each year within the road transport industry.
Prevention is the key
If you work in the New Zealand road transport industry, then DriverSafe is designed for you.
DriverSafe training ensures that 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.

DriverSafe has been developed in partnership with ACC and the Road Transport Safer Industry Steering Group, in consultation with industry representatives. The programme was launched in 2004 and all training material has been updated in August 2008.
