Road Safety & Defensive Driving Training

Why Road Safety and Defensive Driving Training Matters in Industrial Environments?

Vehicle movement inside and around plant premises is a major safety risk—forklifts, cranes, tankers, and private vehicles all share space with workers. Collisions, blind spots, over-speeding, and poor signaling contribute to frequent accidents. This training promotes safe driving habits, traffic control awareness, and defensive skills to prevent workplace transportation incidents.
