Incident Management Workshop 2019 Courses – 22nd May 2019

Description

Heavy vehicles and buses represent around 3% of registered vehicles and 8% of vehicle kilometres travelled. However, they are involved in 18% of total road deaths and around 3% of total injuries. An individual is up to three times more likely to die in a crash where a heavy vehicle is involved. The Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development estimates the economic cost of road crashes at around $27 billion per year.

 

With these alarming statistics in mind, the Heavy Vehicle Incident Management Course is designed to guide you through WHAT TO DO and WHAT NOT TO DO when a serious heavy vehicle collision occurs.  Real-world case studies will be used to demonstrate the step-by-step process for responding, investigating and preventing a serious collision or incident. Presented by Forensic Engineer Tia Gaffney who has been a member of the VTA-associated Transportation Industry Safety Group for over 5 years.
