Training Objectives
- Explain when to wear a seat belt and why proper use is important

Course Overview
Operating a commercial motor vehicle requires constant attention to changing traffic, roadway, weather, and work zone conditions. Because commercial vehicles are larger and heavier than passenger vehicles, maintaining control, allowing adequate stopping distance, and responding appropriately to hazards are essential parts of safe driving.
This course focuses on practical behaviors that can help CMV drivers prevent injuries and reduce crash risks. Participants learn about the importance of seat belt use, maintaining focus behind the wheel, controlling speed, and adjusting driving behavior to changing road conditions.
The course also addresses work zone safety, where lane changes, reduced speeds, sudden stops, and changing traffic patterns can create additional challenges for commercial drivers. FMCSA emphasizes slowing down, staying alert, maintaining additional following distance, and watching for workers and changing roadway conditions in these areas.
Participants will also review relevant FMCSA safety priorities and regulations. Federal requirements include the use of safety belts by CMV drivers when a belt assembly is installed at the driver's seat, while FMCSA safety guidance emphasizes safe speed, attention, and adapting to roadway conditions.
Designed for commercial motor vehicle drivers, this training provides practical reminders that can be applied during everyday driving to help protect drivers, passengers, other motorists, and road workers.
This program is available with Spanish and French closed captions.
