Description

Enable participants to design, deliver, and sustain effective safety training programs for drivers and staff using data-driven insights and adult learning principles. Module Description This module focuses on building effective, ongoing safety training programs that improve driver performance, strengthen compliance, and support a positive safety culture. Participants learn how to identify training needs using operational and compliance data—including accident trends, violations, and CSA performance—and translate those insights into targeted, impactful training initiatives. Instruction emphasizes adult learning principles and practical training design across multiple delivery formats, including classroom, online, hands-on, and peer-led instruction. Participants also explore methods for evaluating training effectiveness through knowledge checks, observation, and performance metrics, ensuring training investments produce measurable results. Through collaborative exercises and peer teaching, participants develop and present a driver safety training module, receive structured feedback, and learn how to build a sustainable training calendar that supports continuous improvement and regulatory readiness.
