Dangerous Goods Awareness
This interactive session is crucial for employees handling, packaging, and transporting dangerous goods. It offers a thorough overview of responsibilities related to hazardous materials transport, focusing on safety for people and the environment.
Why Choose Us?
We understand that work-related driving is one of the most dangerous activities employees face. Our mission is to provide companies with the training and tools necessary to make driving safer for their workforce. Whether your team drives cars, trucks, or commercial vehicles, we tailor our programs to fit their daily driving needs.
Our approach focuses on:
Developing situational awareness and good driving habits
Identifying and eliminating dangerous habits that lead to poor judgment
Conducting practical training on real roads with the vehicles your team uses
Unlike other programs that rely on racetracks or skid pans, we focus on real-world scenarios. Studies show that racetrack-based defensive courses can lead to overconfidence and increased risk-taking, which is why our methods are different.

Driver Development Australia offers customised programs designed to meet the specific needs of your company. We will work with you to reduce collisions by over 40%, while also helping to:
Reduce insurance premiums and claims
Decrease fuel consumption and vehicle wear and tear
Improve the overall safety and productivity of your drivers
When safety is a priority, let us help you create a safer, more responsible fleet of drivers.
