SAFED

Providing greener and safer driving techniques

The Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving (SAFED) standard has been developed to improve the safety and fuel efficiency driving techniques of heavy goods vehicle (HGV) drivers.

The SAFED training programme enables both vehicle operators and training providers to implement driver training and development for existing HGV drivers within the road freight industry.

Driver Training consists of a one full day off-the-job training course.

The training course includes practical assessments and theory papers and is based around the following themes:

* accident prevention and reduction
* fuel efficient driving

A SAFED Qualified Instructor assesses drivers performance both before and after the training. Driving sessions will be used to put safe and fuel efficient driving techniques into practice. Drivers who reach the SAFED standard will receive a certificate of achievement, an ID card and a SAFED hi-visability vest.
