WHITE VAN MANS CHANCE TO GO GREEN
Why have van training?
High accident rates, high stress levels and stereotyped images have all helped to give the 'white van man' a bad press over recent years. SAFED for Vans provides van drivers with the skills to address these issues, whilst aiming to improve safety and help towards saving hundreds of pounds in fuel costs at the same time. Up to 1000 deaths a year involve somebody who is at work, it is really important that company's take this issue seriously.
What is SAFED?
SAFED is a driver development course backed by the department of transport. It consists of a day of assessment and training. It intends to improve the safe and fuel efficient driving skills of van drivers. For more information go to www.safed.org.uk The course consists of a whole day of training and is best done in pairs. Results are showing improvements in areas such as fuel efficiency, less gear changes and reduced driver errors. Some results from the SAFED training are showing up to a 10% reduction in fuel costs alone.
Safer driving means:
- Less injuries and fatalities on our roads
