In January 2021, the Infrastructure Health and Safety Association (IHSA), with support from the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD), gathered together drivers, supervisors, employers, and transportation industry subject matter experts to examine the root causes of health and safety incidents in truck yards. #2 on that list was lack of training which IRIS clearly addresses.
But IRIS also addresses much of the other top ten issues as well. Teaching your drivers good driving habits is essential to lower insurance costs, driver retention and providing a strong culture of caring for your drivers.
Reinforce Best Practices with the iMVR IRIS yard to yard module. You have the ability to choose options to reflect your company’s procedures and protocols. For truck driver training schools and professional trucking companies, you can stage challenging scenarios that are perfect for teaching the most difficult maneuvers in a safe environment. Executing & coaching best practices has never been easier!
