Newswire – ROSPA: Employers can now opt for RoSPA-led (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) workshops linked to a project that investigated the training needs of young drivers who get behind the wheel as part of their jobs.
 
To complement FREE online resources for firms running their own in-house Young Drivers at Work Workshops, RoSPA has now launched options for organisations that would benefit from the safety charity leading the sessions.
 
The RoSPA Assisted Workshop involves a RoSPA trainer working alongside a staff member to prepare and deliver the session.  It is ideal for firms that wish to train someone to conduct future sessions and also allows organisations to hear first-hand the issues encountered by their drivers.
