Workers in the heavy transport industry face significant risks of major trauma, including high‑impact collisions, rollovers and crush injuries that can occur during loading, unloading or coupling activities. Truck drivers are frequently exposed to road traffic accidents in the course of their work. Ensuring they have the skills to provide effective initial trauma care can reduce the psychosocial risk of this exposure.

Going beyond just compliance – building skills and confidence to step in when an emergency happens.
