Brake to run free webinars to deliver Pledge training for fleets

The webinars will give managers and driver trainers practical tools and resources to enable participants to pass on effective and engaging safe driving messages to people who drive for work.

Participants will also hear from a company that has successfully deployed the Pledge campaign, sponsored by ARI Fleet UK, within their business, helping them to improve road safety while maintaining high levels of productivity.

The forthcoming Pledge webinars take place on Tuesday 15 September 2015 and Thursday 26 November 2015 and are free to participate in.

The webinars will be delivered by an experienced, qualified trainer from Brake. Attendees will learn how to run discussion-based workshops with their drivers on six core principles of safe driving:

Slow – within speed limits

Sober – free from alcohol or drugs

Sharp – not tired, ill or with poor eyesight

Silent – phone off and out of reach

Secure – belted up in a safe vehicle

Sustainable – only when you have to

Attendees will also be provided with access to interactive learning materials through Brake Professional’s website www.brakepro.org. These tools are designed to be used within the workplace to support internal road risk management policies and procedures.

Ellie Pearson, senior professional engagement officer at Brake, said: “We are delighted that our Pledge training is now being run through online webinars – making it even easier for drivers from all over the world to attend from the comfort of their own office. I would encourage any business to get involved with these courses, which are free to everyone.”
