DON’T TAKE “DEADLY” RISKS WITH DRIVER TRAINING - Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

A leading fleet driver training organisation wants to put risk management and driver development back to the “top of the agenda” for companies despite the economic crisis.
The TTC Group has significantly reduced the price of its training courses to ensure companies do not take “deadly” risks with driver training during the credit crunch.
Many companies are starting to “balance the risk” of prosecution against the perceived cost of implementing a risk management programme, said Simon Protano, Head of Corporate Risk Management & Driver Development at the TTC Group.
“The consequences of such action could well be deadly and may lead to the first prosecution of a fleet for Corporate Manslaughter,” he said.
“To tackle this head on, TTC has significantly reduced the cost of standard on-road training to £140 per driver and workshops for only £19 per delegate. This will hopefully ensure fleets remain committed to investing in their most important assets – their employees.
“TTC has a wealth of experience gained from working with some of the largest communication and supermarket home delivery fleets and is committed to providing quality training to substantially reduce fuel and accident related costs regardless of your fleet size,” added Simon.
