of this page for more information.
Each year motor vehicle accidents claim more than two million lives worldwide and result in tens of millions serious injuries. In fact, they are the number one cause of death on the job.
Employees can prevent these incidents if they understand how to deal with the hazards that they can encounter on the road... whether they result from mechanical problems, bad weather, darkness, distraction, other drivers or even themselves.
If employees approach driving with this knowledge, as well as the proper attitude, good driving skills and a well-maintained vehicle, they can help to prevent accidents and injuries… and make the roads a safer place for everyone.
Topics covered in this course include:
- "Preparing" to drive safely
- Safe driving principles for all drivers
- Driving safely when sharing the road with trucks and buses
- Staying safe when driving at night and in inclement weather
- Avoiding distractions when you're driving
- The dangers of road rage
- What to do if a "driving emergency" arises
- …and more.
Like all MARCOM courses, this updated course on "Driving Safety" uses a powerful combination of full-motion, high-definition video filmed in real world locations, along with audio, text and colorful graphics to provide the most cost-effective training available today.

Adaptive Learning
“Adaptive Learning” takes advantage of an employee’s existing knowledge to create training courses that are customized for that employee, and don’t “reteach” them things that they already know. In other words, the Adaptive Learning process determines what an employee already knows about a topic, then structures courses that contain only the information that the employee needs to complete their knowledge of the topic.
These individually customized courses eliminate the largest employee complaint about safety training (“I already know most of this stuff, so why do I have to go through this training again?!”), while potentially recapturing thousands of hours of lost productivity.
MARCOM’s Adaptive Learning courses test employees before they take the course. Then based on the questions that they answer correctly, the course itself determines if the employee knows enough about the information in each chapter in the course to “test out” of that chapter… and if they do, automatically reconfigures the course to skip those chapters.
Reconfiguring the courses in this way typically saves about 50% of an employee’s time in taking a course. Over a year’s time this can recapture a significant amount of lost productivity time for a company of any size, and result in hundreds of thousands of dollars of annual savings.
