Course Description
A safety belt, often referred to as a seat belt, is a harness designed to secure occupants inside the vehicle, and you have to buckle up to use it. Without question, a safety belt is the most important in-cab safety device that will protect an occupant in the event of a sudden stop or crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) notes that in 2001, safety belts saved over 12,000 American lives. It is critical that when you are driving, either short distances or on long trips, you should always wear your safety belt.
Course overview
Federal and state laws require that all drivers of commercial vehicles wear their seatbelt while driving. This training session will remind you that there is nothing more important than buckling up to prevent serious injury or death while operating a commercial vehicle.
