Course Overview:

This Driver CPC module delivers practical, transport-specific Health & Safety awareness for professional drivers working in one of the UK’s highest-risk industries.

It focuses on the real hazards drivers face daily—on the road, in the yard, during loading, or at customer sites—not the tired, generic safety slides you’ve seen a hundred times. This course gives drivers the knowledge and confidence to work safely and legally, without slowing the job down or burying them in jargon.

It’s not about ticking boxes—it’s about staying on your feet, keeping your licence clean, and making it home in one piece.

What You’ll Learn:

• The key health & safety risks specific to transport and logistics

• Your legal responsibilities under the Health & Safety at Work Act

• Risk awareness on and off the road—what to watch for and how to act

• Working safely around moving vehicles, forklifts, and tight spaces

• Slips, trips, falls, and manual handling—how to avoid the obvious (and not-so-obvious) injuries

• Coupling/uncoupling safely: procedures that stop shortcuts turning into incidents

• Safe loading and working at height basics (tail lifts, flatbeds, curtain-siders)

• PPE that matters—and when it’s more than just a vest and boots

• Dealing with near misses, incident reporting, and when to speak up

• Managing fatigue, stress, and the mental side of driver safety

Who Should Attend:

• HGV, LGV, and PCV drivers across all sectors

• Delivery drivers working at multiple sites or under time pressure

• Drivers operating in high-traffic yards or on shared workspaces

• Anyone who wants to take control of their safety—and avoid the “it won’t happen to me” trap

Course Benefits:

• Identify and avoid the most common causes of driver injury

• Build a stronger safety culture in your team or fleet

• Reduce downtime, paperwork, and liability from preventable incidents

• Understand your rights and responsibilities without the legal fluff

• Take practical safety knowledge back to the job—not just theory
