Fire Protection and Prevention

The Fire Protection & Prevention (FPP) online safety course will cover basic understanding of fire risks and the key elements for preventing them from occurring in the work environment. Specifically, each section will communicate different fire prevention safety tips, such as steps to control fires, knowing how to read all fire extinguisher labels for proper usage and where to locate fire extinguishers in case of a fire.

At the end of the course, workers will use their knowledge about the P.A.S.S. method to extinguish a fire in an interactive mini-game.

Backing Techniques: Driver Training Series

Backing counts as a tiny percentage of a driver's driving time. But, the most common, and sometimes most costly, crashes or incidents in trucking involve backing. Backing incidents don't just damage trailers, buildings, and other equipment; sometimes, they're fatal.

The Backing Techniques: JJ Keller designed the Driver Training Series to help reduce the number of backing accidents by teaching drivers how to recognize the dangers of backing and provide expert-level backing procedures. It covers the proper procedures for each backing maneuver, including straight-line, alley dock, sight-side jackknife, blind-side jackknife backing, and parallel parking.

After completing this program, students will be able to:

Driving Techniques: Driver Training Series

In almost every profession, technique is what separates the good from the great. Whether we look at athletes, chefs, or commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers, those with the best techniques are the ones who excel.

You learn good techniques through instruction and practice. Drivers need to cultivate their skills and attitude to turn good driving techniques into good habits that prevent costly and sometimes tragic accidents.

The Driving Techniques: JJ Keller designed the Driver Training Series to help drivers understand the basic driving techniques that will help them develop the skills and attitude necessary to operate a CMV safely. Specifically, it covers the importance of driving defensively and knowing how to safely maneuver a CMV through turns and intersections, over railroad crossings, while merging and passing, and driving through roundabouts.

After this course, a student should understand:

Defensive Driving for CMV Drivers Module 4: Manage Speed & Space

More than a quarter of all work-related fatalities occur in occupations that require driving, or the transportation of goods, making the need for defensive driving skills clear. In order to avoid injury, or worse, death, drivers need to understand what defensive driving really means and what unique challenges a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) driver faces. Even if you’re a veteran driver, you need to avoid becoming complacent.

Defensive driving begins with the principle that you can avoid being the cause of an accident and can avoid being involved in an accident caused by another driver’s actions. Defensive driving involves intentionally driving in such a way as to reduce the risk of an accident.

This course is designed to help drivers develop their defensive driving skills. Specifically, it offers up best practices on how to anticipate the potential for danger and avoid it
