DRIVER SAFETY AWARENESS PROGRAM
Most vehicle crashes occur as a result of drivers' inability to accurately link their perception of driver risk with their real-time driving behaviour. Increasing the correlation between the accurate perception of driver risk and the real risk of a crash through a focus on driver attitude rather than driving skills, can lead to safer driving performance. There is a need for organisations to: provide work drivers and managers with accurate information on the human and dollar costs of crashes in their organisation; eliminate the myths and optimism bias often exhibited by work drivers. This paper is a report on the development of a half-day Driver Safety Awareness Program and delivery of 5 workshop sessions to fleet drivers in Sydney and regional centres for a NSW government agency in April and May 2001. A review of information generated by participants at the workshop was documented after each session: this report consolidates the workshop reviews; provides an overview of session content; and presents conclusions drawn from the experience.
