Occupational Driving and Road Risk Management

For many African organisations the greatest single safety risk is not the plant but the road, where sales reps, technicians, delivery crews and executives cover thousands of kilometres on demanding routes. This course treats work related road risk as an occupational health and safety issue rather than a fleet cost, covering journey management, driver fitness and post crash response. It helps employers meet their duty of care to everyone who drives for work.
