During these course days, we will discuss the basic knowledge once again and go deeper into the wishes that Vredeveld adds to this. Below is a small selection of the topics that have been covered:
- Digital tachograph
- Safety
- Occupational health and safety legislation
- Alcohol, smartphone and drug use
Safety is the most important topic discussed on these days. For example, it was discussed how the driver works in a safe and responsible way. Think about:
- Tuning mirrors
- Dead angle
- Use personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Preparation and post-check truck
- Signaling and marking
In addition, the consequences of narcotics and smartphone use have been discussed. Unfortunately, it is increasingly common in the news that accidents occur in which narcotics and smartphones play a major role. We want to make clear to our drivers what the consequences are if you are using your smartphone while driving or if you get behind the wheel with residual alcohol. The consequences of not using a seatbelt have also been made clear by means of videos.
On all course days we arranged a pass session with our clothing supplier, Flexco in Smilde, where the measurements of the drivers were measured for the new work clothing and for the personal protective equipment.
