Furthermore, these accidents cost employers over $56 billion in 2017, with 53% of vehicle accidents causing employees to miss work. This course has been developed as a response to those figures and a way to reduce those numbers. This is a fast-paced exciting class taught by the same instructors that teach our public safety professionals on vehicle operation! No need to worry about using your car as we will provide the vehicles for your employee and the class will be held at the NWTC Universal Driving Facility which has a closed driving course consisting of roads, roundabouts, intersections, curves, and much more. Classroom discussion will cover: traffic laws; accident scenarios; and risky driving behaviors. This will be followed by actual driving time covering: evasive maneuvers; controlled braking; navigating roundabouts; emergency situations and basic concepts of vehicle operation. Upon completion a certificate will be provided. October 10, 2019  ARC Flash Class This course will be taught by industry leaders in arc flash and arc flash PPE.
