Description

This course is designed to help you reduce the chances of becoming involved in an incident while backing up a vehicle. In organizations with a vehicle fleet, incidents that occur when backing up significantly contribute to overall incident numbers.

Developed in collaboration with Thinking Driver, the course includes videos to provide an interactive e-learning solution. Quizzes throughout help to measure and encourage learning.

Upon completion of the course you will know how to identify:

  • Strategies to reduce the need to back up
  • How and when to complete a circle check
  • How to ensure you have a good field of vision to the rear when backing is required
  • Safe speeds for backing manoeuvres
