Why This Course Is Essential

Awareness is the key to prevention!

Once you establish which driving-related hazards pose the greatest risks to employees, you have effectively set your priorities for action. The next step towards preventing workplace crashes is to determine what people in the organization will do to eliminate or minimize exposure to those hazards.

Risk = Exposure x Probability x Severity

The risk equation above shows how changing any one of the variables on the right side of the equation changes associated risk. Reducing exposure to a given hazard by 50% also reduces total risk of injury and other losses by 50%. If you eliminate the hazard, exposure equals zero, and risk equals zero.
