Defensive Driving Course

Category: defensive driver, driver training class, General Industry OSHA, Transportation

The goal of the Defensive Driving Course is to reduce the frequency and severity of costly motor vehicle accidents. The intent is also to reduce the organization liability and insurance cost by educating the drivers on the safety of performing their job. We use J.J. Keller, Inc. materials which is the nationally recognized leader in transportation safety.

The course will include video, discussion, hands-on demonstrations, and a written exam so the employer maintains the legally required training documentation for their drivers.
