Training Program Geared Toward Driver Safety

By Staff -- Logistics Management, 9/1/1999

Thousands of drivers are injured each year while performing routine activities like working around docks and getting on and off tractors. To address this problem, J.J. Keller & Associates Inc. has introduced "Slips, Trips & Falls," a training program that helps reduce the chance of accidents by alerting drivers to the hazards they face out of the driver's seat.

This program--which features an 18-minute video--shows actual trailer and dock situations, highlighting where the risks are and demonstrating safe practices so drivers can avoid danger. It also includes a review of safe lifting techniques and a reminder about the proper use of footwear and handwear.

Along with the video, the program includes an instructor's guide, 10 driver workbooks, a training log, and a safety awareness poster. "Slips, Trips & Falls" is available for $169.
