DRIVER TRAINING COURSE CHANGES
The U’s auto liability insurer, State Risk Management, has changed its driver training requirements. A new training video and test are now online. All employees, students or volunteers who operate any vehicle on University business, both as an essential part of their job function or on an occasional basis, must watch a 14-minute video and take a short test at the time they are hired, every two years thereafter and following any preventable accident.
If it has been more than two years since you have watched the previous video, Defensive Driving: Prepared for the Worst, check online and complete this online program. The test is open book and consists primarily of questions from information contained in the Utah Drivers Handbook and State Risk Management’s Utah Defensive Driving Guide.
Be sure to print your certificate of completion and provide a copy to your supervisor. Each department is responsible to maintain records of their drivers who complete this requirement and to notify those drivers when its time to retake the test. Please destroy copies of previous workbooks and return previous videos to 408 Park immediately. If you don’t have internet access, a DVD, written test and completion certificate form is available from University Risk and Insurance Management. For more information, call Nola at (801) 581-5590.
