Driver Training

What is driver training and why is it important? 

Technology can only do so much in reducing accidents from happening - driver behaviour is still the most important aspect when looking at accident prevention.

At Sureplan, we define driver training as being about upskilling your drivers. This is vital for any company with a functioning fleet as businesses now have a legal obligation under the Health and Safety at Work Act to provide information, training and supervision to their drivers.

Training your drivers to deal with and be aware of potential risks will result in less accidents. Not only is this about protecting people’s lives, but it’s also about reducing costs in operational and maintenance expenses. And though this is not a complete solution to an incident free organisation, appropriate driver training and education should form a key part of any company's fleet risk strategy.

SurePlan has developed a range of risk solutions and online driver training plans that can be applied to either strengthen existing fleet management strategies or offer a complete and tailor-made solution. We use our e-learning web training tool Driving Safer to focus on driver behaviour and the choices they make. 

SurePlan also recommends FleetCoach, an interactive online driver coaching program with more than 20 years of internationally published research and data from more than 15,000 drivers. With video simulations taking place in New Zealand, it coaches your staff through crucial high-level driving skills such as hazard perception and situation awareness.
