| Why Crashes Occur Training | ||||||||||
| Over 95% of crashes occur because of human error. There are many root-causes as to why, and some of these, such as fatigue and the use of mobile phones, are covered by individual training courses. Despite the fact that 9 people are killed and 105 people are seriously injured on the roads in the UK every day, crashes are still quite rare occurrences, so bad habits and behaviour usually do not result in a collision, leading to driver's thinking they must be 'above average' and having a false sense of invulnerability when driving. The most important issue for any organisation wanting to improve the safety of it's employees is their attitude towards driving. |
Interesting Fact There were 313,046 casualties on roads in Great Britain in 2001. 3,443 people were killed, 37,094 were seriously injured and 272,509 were slightly injured |

| Our course module looks at all the reasons why crashes occur, and tackles the philosophical issues associated with today's 'blame culture'. By raising employees' awareness of why crashes occur, and starting to modify their attitude towards driving, this will help them identify hazardous situations earlier, and help them to drive more safely and courteously to reduce the risk that they will be involved in a collision. | ||||||||||
| This training course may be appropriate if the work-related road risk audit or health check identifies that there is a problem with the attitude of the drivers, or there is feedback from employees who have been involved in crashes along the lines of, 'there was nothing I could do about it'. | ||||||||||
