Defensive Driving and Road Safety Awareness (DDRSA)
At Blue Mountain we ensure all our driving courses are tailored to the needs of your company whilst delivering a course that ensures that your employees (or you!) are empowered with the skills and tactics to achieve maximum safety.
Defensive driving not only involves learning to anticipate the frequently spontaneous behaviour of other road users, but will improve car control, observation and concentration. The course is delivered by ex police driving instructors with many years operational experience.
Main benefits include:
- Ensuring that you as an employer fulfil your legal responsibilities
- Realising lower company insurance costs
- Safer and smoother vehicle control, providing lower fuel and maintenance costs, as per training guidelines of SAFED, a Department Of Transport (DfT) initiative. Blue Mountain Group is the ONLY Company in Wales to have DfT approved SAFED instructors as part of its training team.
- Increase safety of staff and a reduction in the risk of them being involved in a road traffic incident.
- Updated knowledge about new traffic legislation for your driving staff including The CORPORATE MANSLAUGHTER ACT 2008 and the HEALTH and SAFETY OFFENDERS ACT 2008
- Reduce likelihood of claims being made against your company or staff.
- Compliance to Health and Safety requirements
All our courses can be delivered, where appropriate in the client’s own car thereby making it more specific and more beneficial.
These courses have been developed around the driving techniques used by the UK Police.
