HGV drivers must be aware of the danger to themselves and other members of the public when they are driving, loading and unloading their vehicles. Injuries and deaths occur for many reasons, but we will split them into two broad categories: incidents on the road and incidents at other workplaces. The overall objective of the course is to improve understanding of the safety factors in both the workplace and on the road – and to learn methods to ensure driver wellbeing, health and safety.
