Injury Prevention for CMV Drivers

COURSE OVERVIEW

Being a professional truck driver can be fraught with potential injuries, leading to more days off work than any other profession. Interestingly, most of these injuries aren't even related to the act of driving itself. They mostly occur due to unsafe practices, hazardous conditions, errors in judgment, or environmental threats. Injuries can result from sprains, strains, incorrect lifting or posture, slips, trips, and falls.

This Injury Prevention for CMV Drivers course is specifically tailored to offer drivers knowledge that can assist them in avoiding injuries during their on-road and off-road duties. Upon course completion, learners will be equipped to identify common activities that could lead to injuries and also understand how to safeguard themselves, ensuring they remain operational.
