Driver Safety - A Lifetime of Learning:
What does a 16 year old girl, a 59-year old grandfather, a 41-year old skilled worker and a 28-year old sales professional all have in common? They all operate a motor vehicle and share public roadways with over 164 million other drivers. In the past 20 years, the number of miles of new roads has increased only one percent, while the number of miles driven has shot up 35 percent. Combine this ever increasing number of vehicles with changing driver behavior, increased technology and heavier vehicles, and you have a continuously changing driving environment that can present many potential risks and hazards. According to the latest National Traffic Safety Administration statistics, 27.6 million vehicles were damaged in motor vehicle accidents in the last year. A motor vehicle accident occurs every five seconds. An individual is injured in an accident every 11 seconds. Motor vehicle accidents are the number one cause of workplace fatalities and employee absenteeism. Driver Safety - A Lifetime of Learning creates an awareness and respect for the hazards associated with operating a motor vehicle, emphasizes the importance of increasing your awareness of what is happening in your driving environment, and teaches skills and techniques your drivers can use to assess the risk and reduce their chances of being involved in a motor vehicle accident. Whether you operate a motor vehicle as part of your job function or as a means of personal transportation, the decisions you make can be the difference in safely arriving at your destination.

Forklift Safety - The Experienced Operator:
If government statistics indicate in 26% percent of all forklift accidents, the operator was not properly trained and certified, then that must mean in the other 74% of the accidents the operator was trained and certified.

Aimed at experienced operators, this program communicates the importance of operating a forklift in a professional and safe manner and creates an awareness and respect for the potential hazards they may encounter. It establishes that the forklift operator is responsible for their safety and the safety of the people around them. The program uses the analogy and dramatic footage of the Air Force Thunderbirds to convey this message. The Thunderbirds are experienced professionals who fly thousands of hours each year with an outstanding safety record. They understand and respect the potential hazards and take measures to control them including vehicle inspection and maintenance, hazard assessment before each flight, communication, and expected performance from each pilot. These are the same components necessary to prevent forklift incidents. Forklift Safety - the Experienced Operator will motivate your drivers to use the operating skills and techniques they've been taught to prevent accidents and injuries. (14 minutes)
