Injury Prevention for CDL Drivers Injury Prevention for CDL Drivers

Our program on Injury Prevention for CDL Drivers discusses the most common types of injuries that are experienced by CDL drivers, and how they can be avoided. Almost every day you see images in the news of a horrific accident on the highway, many of them involving large trucks. But most of the injuries that CDL drivers suffer aren’t a result of collisions at all. It’s the incidents that occur inside and around the truck, such as hooking up a trailer, loading and unloading cargo, or just getting in and out of the cab that are more likely to lead to an injury. Every year almost 10% of truck drivers suffer from an injury serious enough that they have to miss work for an extended period of time. This can cause both the driver and their company a lot of pain, both physically and financially. Areas included in the program include safety in the cab, working in your truck’s body, positioning at a loading dock, loading and unloading your truck, maneuvering in a yard and more. This program is one of the most effective and efficient ways to get employees the training that they need, in a classroom or individually through their desktop or tablet computer. This course presents fundamental information regarding injury prevention for CDL drivers. Upon completing the course, employees should: 

• Recognize the most common types of injuries that are experienced by CDL drivers.
• Understand how common it is for CDL drivers to suffer injuries that involve working with their truck.
• Know what they can do to avoid injuries that can occur in and around their truck.
