Defensive driving Program

KEY CONSIDERATIONS

Developed by the Canadian Safety Council, this program provides you or your employees with the knowledge and skills to be the most safety-conscious driver.

For employees who drive either a company vehicle or their own vehicle on the job, safe driving is a matter of occupational safety. However, an estimated nine out of ten time-loss injuries happen off the job, not counting employees who take time off to care for an injured family member.

When a company driver is involved in a crash, insurance rates can skyrocket. In addition, indirect costs (whether the worker was driving on or off the job) can include recuperation time, re-staffing, retraining and lost productivity.

Fewer collisions to company vehicles will help control insurance costs and safe drivers lose less time from work because they avoid collisions. That is why a defensive driving course can benefit all employees ( and family members) who hold a current driver’s license. This program is designed to teach your employees and their families how to drive safely.

Safety, on and off the job site, is always a priority
