The Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS) announces the publication of NETS’ Guide to Defensive Driver Training™ and NETS’ Recommended Road Safety Practices™.
The Guide to Defensive Driver Training™ was produced by a committee from NETS’ board of directors and general membership, as well as from publicly available sources.
NETS’ Recommended Road Safety Practices™ was prepared by SWOV, a Netherlands-based road safety NGO. It was funded by Shell Oil Company, a member of NETS’ board of directors.
Both are available on NETS’ website free of charge.
NETS’ Guide to Defensive Driver Training™ provides guidance on what constitutes an effective and sustainable defensive driver training program, and NETS’ Recommended Road Safety Practices™ addresses the key elements required to have a comprehensive fleet safety program.
Both complement NETS’ Comprehensive Guide to Road Safety™ and give fleet safety leaders what they need to start a fleet safety program or to improve one that is already in place.
“As part of NETS’ commitment to the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020, a global road safety initiative, NETS is committed to providing road safety resources free of charge to employers around the world. Use by employers of NETS’ Guide to Defensive Driver Training™ and NETS’ Recommended Road Safety Practices™ will contribute to the global goal of reducing crashes, injuries, fatalities and costs,” says Jack Hanley, NETS’ Executive Director.
