National Safety Council Offers Online Distracted Driving Course

20 Sep 2016

Are you a company that employs fleet drivers? If so, you know that the safety of your employees and the success of your business lies in the how safe your drivers are when they are on the road.

Today, drivers are more distracted than ever when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle. Things like talking on the phone and text messaging have become a major problem for drivers, taking their attention away from where it needs to be: on the road. Distracted driving can cause serious complications, including speeding, failure to obey traffic signals and crashes that can result in injury or even death.

In order to combat the issues that are associated with distracted driving, the National Safety Council has created a Distracted Driving Online Course (DDC) This hour-and-a-half long course is designed to change the way your employees view and react to distracted driving. Additionally, it also aims to assist organizations (such as your company that employs fleet drivers,) with lowering liability risks.
The Distracted Driving Online provides those who participate with a wealth of knowledge regarding distracted driving. The information presented in this course will keep your drivers safe while also meeting the needs of your company’s driver safety program. Thanks to an interactive, engaging format that is easy to use, drivers have the opportunity to learn about the risks that are associated with using their cell phones while they are driving.
In addition to gaining valuable information, your fleet drivers will also enjoy the flexibility that this online course offers. Participants can take the course anytime they like, and from any location that has access to the Internet. Upon completing the course, each participant will receive a Certificate of Completion, which is printed out immediately.

Highlights of the DDC Distracted Driving Online Course include:

● A self-assessment for participants, which features various scenarios regarding distracted driving, activities, and content that is based on the profiles and risk levels of the participant.
● Animations and videos that are fully-narrated
● Interactive exercises and simulations that are engaging
● A Cellphone Free driving pledge, which participants can print and sign.
