From long-haul truckers to local delivery drivers, transport workers face unique risks every day — fatigue, traffic, manual handling, weather, and unpredictable public interactions.

One incident can result in serious injury, costly claims, and damaged reputation.

At Ireland Safety Training, we provide a fully online, CPD-accredited Driver & Transport Worker Safety course, giving employers the tools to train fleet staff, stay compliant, and reduce risk on the road.

Why Driver Safety Training Is Essential

1. Transport Work Carries High Risk

Common hazards for drivers and logistics staff include:

• Road traffic collisions

• Manual handling injuries (lifting, loading, unloading)

• Slips, trips, and falls during deliveries

• Driver fatigue and poor ergonomics

• Aggression from customers or the public

• Lone working and remote locations

Training helps your team recognise and respond to these dangers effectively.

2. It’s a Legal Requirement for Employers

Irish employers must comply with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, which includes:

• Risk assessment of driving-related activities

• Manual handling training

• Fatigue management and rest period awareness

• Incident and accident reporting protocols

UK employers must also follow the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and Driver Hours Regulations.

3. Prevents Incidents, Claims, and Vehicle Downtime

Proactive training results in:

• Fewer collisions and traffic offences

• Safer loading and unloading practices

• Reduced sick leave from strain injuries

• Lower insurance premiums and repair costs

• Better brand image and customer satisfaction
