be avoided!

offers
three critical elements
Knowledge, skills and attitude.

35. Do you need
preventative
training?

top objective of any
organization's fleet program.
3. Protective, defensive tactics,
will keep your drivers and staff
from becoming a statistic and
reduce vehicle-maintenance
costs.

37. The benefits?
•A high standard of driving,
•the knowledge, techniques
and attitudes for safe travel
on gravel roads,
•confidence to drive &
survive under any off-road
conditions and sealed road
driving.

38. Can’t afford to train your
drivers?

39. Poor attitudes and driving
habits will cost heavily in lives
and property!

40. Consider: Frequency breeds
severity.
The longer improper trained drivers operate
your vehicles, the more frequent and severe the
accidents will be

The lack of awareness towards hazards which
include rollovers and how to circumvent them,
puts you and your drivers at serious risk.
