Driving requires the full attention of the driver. Hazards can arise at any time, and vehicles can travel a considerable distance in the short amount of time it takes a driver to notice and react to a danger. A moment’s distraction can have fatal consequences. Anything that draws the driver’s attention away from the road – through sight, sound, thought or physical action – is a distraction. Preventing driver distraction is one of the most important things that fleet managers can do to make their workforce safer.
Our academic and practitioner speakers will discuss:
- why distraction is an important road safety issue, and why drivers get distracted;
- the addictiveness and distractions of different technologies;
- policies to help reduce driver distraction;
- measures to help employers identify drivers who may be at risk of being distracted; and
- measures to raise awareness of distraction through education and communication programmes.
Who should attend?
Representatives of any organisation that employs people who drive for work, including:
- fleet managers
- health and safety managers
- transport managers
- HR professionals
The webinar is also relevant for road safety NGOs, fleet suppliers, insurers, fleet risk management and driver training providers.
