JC Auditors Training

JC Auditors have conducted in excess of 5000 audits over the last 15 years. We have seen that the biggest risk in a road transport operations is driver behaviour, since our audit data shows that more than 80% of crashes are due to driver behaviour. The statistics globally are very similar with 80% to 90% of road incidents attributed to behaviour. These behavioural risks may be attributed to inadequate skill, lack of focus, negligence, insufficient awareness, psychological or medical issues or sometimes a combination of these factors. In view of this, JC Auditors have felt a compelling need to make a difference to the improve driving behavior and these courses have that motivation at heart.

We have used and partnered with industry experts in developing the following courses:

3. Other courses coming soon:
a. Speed management – understanding the technicalities of speed management and the safety risk. The course can be used for drivers and fleet controllers/supervisors/managers since it provides the logical reasons for driving at safe speeds. Once completing this course, drivers will understand why safe speeds are so important and will make them much more likely to drive at safe speeds.

b. Fatigue Management – We know that inadequate attention to fatigue management is a key contributor to crashes on our roads. This course is based on extensive research showing fatigue statistics and outlines in detail the core factors of fatigue. It provides the driver and management an understanding of how crucial it is to ensure that drivers understand how to manage their own health and the role of fleet management to monitor and promote a positive and risk adjusted approach to fatigue management.
