Health and Safety in the workplace and Driving Licensing / Eco driving and Seasonal driving

As an approved training provider, Somax offers high quality Driver CPC/Periodic Training for you or your company, either at your premises or from our own facilities in Weston-Super-mare.

Periodic Training has been designed to increase, expand and confirm the knowledge and skills drivers need to conduct their duties, not only today but also to meet the ever changing regulations.

It carries on throughout the professional driver’s career – no matter how infrequently they drive.

All Periodic Training Courses are approved by The Joint Approvals Unit for Period Training (JAUPT). Only approved courses can be taken at approved training centres.

If you are doing your first Driver CPC, you will need to have the DQC before you can drive on a professional basis.
Failure to have this will mean that you will be driving illegally with a fine likely to be up to £1000.
N.B. You cannot undertake more than 35 hours in a 5 year period.

During the day you will cover:

• Best practice with regards to Health & Safety in the workplace with regard to manual handling techniques and safety
• Looking at risk assessments, Site PPE. For candidates to understand different site layouts for safety.
• Discussion on any changes with regard to driver/CPC licensing.
• Understanding of your driving licence
• To understand how driving safely and fuel efficiently on a daily basis protects not only your licence.
• To include understanding of different braking systems, New Technology within the PCV and LGV vehicles.
