Smith System has begun offering its Arrive Alive Safety online commercial driver safety training course that includes 12 modules, the Arlington, Texas-based company announced.
The modules act as a "series of short refreshers" that use a whiteboard animation style to help professional drivers correct previously learned habits.
"With this series, companies are able to provide refresher training on specific problem areas their drivers might be having," said Tony Douglas, president and CEO. "These whiteboard animations available in Smith System’s E-Learning library focus on challenges that we see drivers struggling with every day and provide them with techniques they can learn immediately to improve their performance behind the wheel."
The modules, which emphasize the Smith5Keys safe driving principles, include Avoiding Intersection Collisions, Avoiding Backing Collisions, Following Distance, Building Effective Seeing Habits, Avoiding a Rear-End Collision, Avoiding Distractions, Foul Weather Driving, Drowsy Driving, Saving Fuel, Proper Positioning in Traffic, Emotions and Driving, as well as Margin for Error.
