This week, Beyond Driving delivered targeted LANTRA 4×4 Professional Driver Training across several UK locations, including Reading, Bristol, and Exeter, tailored specifically for organisations such as the UK Centre of Ecology and Hydrology, BT, and Team Fusion. This specialised training ensures that professional 4×4 drivers not only adhere to strict health and safety regulations but also excel in their operational roles, particularly under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER).
Strategic Training for Diverse Organisational Needs
UK Centre of Ecology and Hydrology, Reading:
In Reading, our focus was on preparing ecological researchers to navigate challenging terrains safely. These researchers often find themselves driving through remote and uneven landscapes to reach vital fieldwork locations. Our training equipped them with the necessary skills to manage these conditions safely, ensuring their research activities could proceed without risk.
BT, Bristol and Exeter:
Our training for BT in Bristol and Exeter was designed to refine the driving techniques of field technicians responsible for maintaining remote telecommunications infrastructure. We covered essential aspects of 4×4 driving that enable technicians to access and repair equipment in isolated areas, ensuring reliable telecom services across regions.
Team Fusion, Reading:
For Team Fusion, training focused on UTV and 4×4 vehicle handling to prepare for a security contract in secluded areas. Over two days, we simulated scenarios that their team might encounter, from navigating rough terrains to managing potential security threats, ensuring they are well-prepared for their new client’s requirements.
Key Elements of Our Training
Safety and Legal Compliance:
Each training session begins with a thorough briefing on vehicle safety and the legal aspects of 4×4 operation. Understanding how to perform pre-start checks and regular vehicle maintenance is crucial for meeting PUWER standards.
Hands-On Driving Experience:
Participants engage in practical driving sessions across varied terrains, which are instrumental in building real-world handling skills. These sessions are critical for developing a confident and competent approach to off-road driving.
Risk Assessment Skills:
We emphasise the importance of assessing and managing risks dynamically. Trainees learn to identify potential hazards quickly and respond with effective strategies to mitigate them, essential for maintaining safety in unpredictable field conditions.
Environmental Consideration:
The training also addresses the environmental impacts of off-road driving, teaching participants to operate vehicles in a way that minimises harm to natural settings. This is particularly vital for organisations like the UK Centre of Ecology and Hydrology, where environmental preservation is crucial.
