Let’s Talk About Safety in the Workplace and on the Roads

The most dangerous part of an employee’s workday is when they’re on the road. Just one work-related motor vehicle collision
could affect your organization’s productivity and finances, but more importantly, the health and future of your employees.
Utah Safety Council’s Driver Safety curriculum, standardized across the nation, uses the latest research-based techniques and
examines driver behavioral patterns, attitudes and habits.

Refresher driver training is always a good idea, even for experienced drivers and especially post-incident. It can help drivers
reexamine their driving habits and attitudes and make the right decisions to prevent collisions in the future

Do you have a safety training set up for your staff? Do you have a seat belt policy set up for your staff? Let us take the guess
work out of creating a safety program for your company. We offer defensive driving courses in a variety of different formats.
You could also choose an employee of yours to get trained to teach your staff and do trainings on your own. We offer defensive
driving onsite at your facility, or online with a variety of key topics.
