Apprentices tutored on hgv safety

The importance of road safety was driven home to apprentices recently by logistics training provider System Training.

The firm, which delivers Apprenticeships in Logistics and Driving HGV Vehicles, hosted an event for 30 young apprentices in Carlisle featuring practical demonstrations from police, fire and rescue and motorsport stars as part of national Road Safety Week.

The training provider's Driver CPC courses already incorporate tuition on driving techniques that help to increase road safety and fuel efficiency and help cut down on HGV-related road traffic accidents.

System Training has worked closely with Cumbria Constabulary's Collision Investigation Unit and Fire and Rescue over the past few years on training initiatives to help the emergency services better understand safety issues, such as drink and drug abuse, regarding HGVs and LGVs
