Traffic Safety Regulations & Defensive Driving Training

Program Overview

Road traffic incidents are the leading cause of occupational fatalities worldwide, accounting for more deaths than any other category of workplace accident. For organizations whose employees drive as part of their work — whether operating fleet vehicles, heavy goods vehicles, company cars, or site transport — a robust road safety training program is not merely a regulatory requirement, it is a moral obligation.

ICLM's Traffic Safety Regulations and Defensive Driving training (Course Code T1101) equips professional drivers, fleet operators, safety officers, logistics managers, and site transport supervisors in transportation, logistics, construction, oil and gas, utilities, and service industries with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to drive safely, comply with regulations, and apply defensive driving techniques that prevent accidents.
