OUR LIBRARY OF PURESAFETY ONLINE TRAINING COURSES – FREE FOR UNLIMITED USE

Through an exclusive partnership with PureSafety the Driver’s Alert SMART RISK™ Program includes a library of 30 unlimited use online safety training courses targeting high-risk driving behaviors and practices.

Each engaging, interactive course averages 15 to 30 minutes in length, making them ideal for corrective action and proactive training on specific driver safety issues. Courses are available for both large and light commercial vehicles, and many are offered in both English and Spanish.
