Around 171,500 vehicle fires (lorries, cars, vans) occur yearly, with almost 60 per cent on the motorway. The Fire Awareness CPC training course teaches lorry drivers everything about safe driving and inspections that reduces these hazards.
Fires can appear on lorries in various locations, primarily wheel bearings, brake pads, tyre under-inflations, and multiple electronic defects. Therefore, it’s an essential driver CPC training module that could save your life and other road users.
After this driver training, the individual will completely understand the potential fire hazards, how to reduce them, and the appropriate measures to take if they become present. It doesn’t only benefit the driver and road users but also reduce the occurrence of insurance claims.
Course includes:
- How fires occur within the transport sector
- Actions to minimise fires from appearing
- What to do when a fire presents itself
- Fire Risk Assessment and Fire Triangle
- Understanding fire and safe use of fire fighting equipment
The fire awareness course has a time length of three and a half hours. Therefore, it’s mandatory to match this with another CPC course of the same duration.
