Why attend Physical Risk Awareness
Health and safety education for drivers is a cost-effective way to reduce incidents, injuries, downtime and days off sick as well as managing reputational risk.
Physical Risk Awareness enables drivers to consciously choose safer ways of working. Our experienced driver trainers fully engage with participants to maximise the learning experience and draw out their views and opinions.
“We used TTC for our CPC training and found that it was dealt with very easily. Everyone at TTC that we spoke to were polite and efficient to ensure that our needs were met. The trainers and the facilities were of a good standard.”
