Vehicle Backing Safety (OLT) | Even though most of us spend less than 1% of our driving time in reverse, the National Safety Council estimates that one in four vehicle accidents occur while backing, and that most backing accidents are caused by drivers using poor backing techniques. Backing can be particularly hazardous for drivers on the job, especially when backing large vehicles or vehicles with trailers. Learners who successfully complete this course should be able to identify general backing hazards and safe practices when backing. If learners’ job duties include driving large vehicles, such as semi-trucks or construction vehicles, they should also be able to identify general backing hazards and safe practices for larger vehicles. | 0.5000000000 | true | true | true | true | true | true | true | $5.00 | $10.00 | true | Blackboard On Demand | ||||
