This makes it all the more important for the drivers of these vehicles to undergo safety training as even a minute mistake at times can have disastrous results of great magnitude. The courses consciously incorporate a very high level of visual content like photographs, films, graphics and animation for maximum impact. They are conducted with a high degree of interaction and participation of trainees and tackle all levels of literacy and understanding in all major Indian languages. An essential part of all programmes is our highly acclaimed “Safe Driving” manual. Several modules of Suraksha are available from 1 day to 3 days, depending on how much time participants can spare, the legal requirement in each case and their interest in specific vehicle categories. Driving assessment, demonstration drives, and feedback/counselling are all optional parts of the Suraksha courses. The course is designed for drivers who already hold licenses for special transport like tankers, carriers of hazardous goods, trucks for material handling. Each module is custom designed to meet the needs of specific user groups and could even include company specifics. Many of India’s leading companies/ organizations like Shell, Essar, BPCL, Adani Gas, Total Oil, LNG, GUG GAS, and SIAM have conducted these programs regularly to train their personnel in road safety and have reported a significant improvement in their safety records.
